Jamaica Easter Carnival
Listed under Religious Festivals in Jamaica.
Over 10,000 party orientated people converge on Jouvert Beach, Kingston in the very early hours of Easter Sunday for the Jamaica Easter Carnival. It starts as a daybreak parade and ends up in more of a colourful march as costumed revellers join in to get down with the soco and calypso sounds, played by top local bands, start-a churning and grinding.
Ocho Rios and Montego Bay are the other Easter party central options.
