It’s Boxing Day in Jamaica which is a public holiday celebrated with various traditions.

The name "Boxing Day" has origins tied to the tradition of giving 'Christmas boxes' to those in need. Some Jamaicans use this day to engage in acts of charity, donating to the less fortunate or volunteering in community service activities.

Sporting events, particularly cricket matches, are popular on Boxing Day.

Travel Tip Tuesday!

Let’s discuss Heroes Weekend in Jamaica!

Heroes Weekend in Jamaica is a public holiday celebrated on the third Monday in October to honor the country’s National Heroes. It is a long weekend filled with cultural events, parties, and celebrations that reflect both the country's historical legacy and its vibrant culture.

History and Significance:
The holiday was established to commemorate Jamaica's seven National Heroes, who played pivotal roles in the fight for freedom, independence, and social justice:

1. Marcus Garvey – A political leader, publisher, and orator who founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and promoted Black pride and self-reliance globally.
2. Nanny of the Maroons– A leader of the Maroons, who resisted British colonialism and led her people in the First Maroon War, securing autonomy for Maroons.
3. Paul Bogle– A Baptist deacon and leader in the 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion, who fought for the rights and justice of poor Black Jamaicans under British rule.
4. George William Gordon– A politician and advocate for social justice, who supported the Morant Bay Rebellion and fought for the rights of the disenfranchised.
5. Sam Sharpe– The leader of the 1831 Christmas Rebellion (or Baptist War), which significantly contributed to the abolition of slavery in Jamaica.
6. Norman Manley– A founding father of modern Jamaica and co-founder of the People’s National Party (PNP), he played a key role in gaining political independence for the island.
7. Sir Alexander Bustamante– Jamaica’s first Prime Minister, who led the labor movement and founded the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), contributing significantly to workers' rights and national independence.

Modern-Day Celebrations:
Heroes Weekend has evolved into a major cultural event, where Jamaicans celebrate their heritage through music, festivals, and parties. Major beach parties, like Frenchmen Party Weekend in Ocho Rios, attract both locals and tourists, featuring performances from popular dancehall and reggae artists. Simultaneously, it’s a time to reflect on the sacrifices of the heroes who shaped the nation.

Traditional events like wreath-laying ceremonies and historical reenactments are held in honor of the heroes, with National Heroes Park in Kingston serving as a focal point for some of these events.

Hitting a fruit stand in Jamaica

Fresh fruit! One of my fave things to do when I travel is to try different fruit! There’s a few fruit stands in Montego Bay that I love to hit. Did you know you’re supposed to drink the coconut water then use the shell to scrape out the meat?

When Certified Travel Gyal s party in Jamaica, we do it right! What’s your favorite party spot in Jamaica? Drop a pic or video. Also, get a list of Montego Bay nightlife recommendations and a table reservation for $35. DM me for more details.

You are simply amazing. Thank you for trusting me with your vacation. Birthdays in Jamaica are what we do! Ask me about our birthday bamboo rafting excursion! #bamboorafting #riuaquarelle #riupalacetropicalbay

Bamboo rafting is a must do in Jamaica. I tell my clients you can't visit and not experience it. It's so relaxing and a great way to experience nature.I love introducing my clients to the bamboo raft captains that have gone viral on social media for their personalities, looks, or both. This is what led me to making sure I met Michael on my last visit to Jamaica. I test out tours before I recommend to clients and I was really excited for this one. I usually keep my composure, but I'm pretty sure I made some googly eyes a time or two. He's amazing on the inside andout!I hope you enjoy the review and check out my next post for an August 2024 bamboo rafting excursion deal for a tour with him!Interesting fact: the bridge in the video was built by slaves in 1828 and has never been damaged or refurbished.
