Reggae Sumfest 2023: Jamaica’s Most Epic Music Festival

If you love reggae, you’re going to love the Reggae Sumfest. After all, what could be better than partying and jamming to reggae right in the very place the genre was born in? The Reggae Sumfest had its humble beginnings back in 1993, and now it’s the biggest music festival in Jamaica.

‘It attracts thousands of people from all over the world who come together to celebrate the radness that is reggae.’

No less than the likes of Jimmy Cliff, Damian Marley, Ziggy Marley, Stephen Marley, Toots & The Maytals, and so much more have graced the stages of the Reggae Sumfest over the last few decades.

The Reggae Sumfest is held mid-July of every year, and features live performances each night. The balmy summer temps, reggae-filled air, and beach parties are just some of the things you can look forward to at the festival. The event will also have other awesome activities for festival-goers like the Colorfest Beach Party, the Free Street Dance and Party, the All White Party, and the Blitz Party.

You wouldn’t want to miss out on the Reggae Sumfest. It’s going to be the most epic reggae beach party in the Caribbean!

How to get around Montego Bay

If you’ll be around downtown, the best way to get around is by taxi. Get a glimpse of Jamaican urban life by exploring this area; just make sure to hail one of the three main kinds of taxis: red-plate, tours, and non-red plates.

At and around the Hip Strip on Gloucester Avenue, getting around on foot is the most efficient way to explore the sites and restaurants. There are sidewalks on both sides of the road, so it’s safe enough to walk around this area.
