Overview

Jamaica in January is Back! This time, it's an ANTHEM to JAMAICA...a celebration of resilience, the culture & the unstoppable spirit.

If you’ve been waiting for that mid-winter blast of warmth, flavour, and irie island vibe…this year’s event means even more.
Every year, hundreds gather for Jamaica in January because it feels like home (whether you were born on the island, visited, or simply love the culture). The food, the music, the laughter, the community spirit, it’s the kind of energy that carries you straight through winter.
