Get ready to experience the vibrant spirit of Jamaica as we proudly present Jamaica Day in Hong Kong 2024, a captivating celebration of the island nation’s Emancipendence. This extraordinary event invites you to immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry, captivating flavors, and infectious rhythms that define the Jamaican identity.
Kick off the festivities with an engaging Jamaican Cooking Workshop, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn the secrets of two popular Jamaica treats; Gizzada (Jamaican coconut tart) and Beef/ Veggie Patty (traditional curry-flavoured pastry) from a Jamaican foodie.
Following the culinary adventure, indulge in a sumptuous Jamaican Dinner that will tantalize your taste buds. Savor the aromatic spices, the bold seasonings, and the harmonious blend of ingredients that embody the essence of Jamaican cuisine.
As the sun sets, we transition into a pulsating Reggae Dance Party, where you can groove to rhythms of ska, rocksteady to lovers’ rock and dancehall that have defined Jamaica’s musical legacy. Let’s dance into the night to reggae from across the eras with Jamaican DJ Lenky!

It is a fun and family-friendly space to find heartwarming African food and direct connection to the local African community. The center is for everyone, where they can freely express themselves and their ideas.

I value the “African Literature Book Club” as I value Women’s Day and Black History Month because African literature deserves a spotlight.
