One of the most celebrated of celebrations, Jamaicans around the world are continuing to mark their country’s Independence Day by taking part in huge street parades while donning a whole array of attires in the green, gold and black of its national flag.
From Blenheim in Hanover to Birmingham in the West Midlands, Montego Bay to Milton Keynes, Clarendon to California, Spanish Town to many Spanish towns, Manchester to…well, Manchester, or wherever natives and/or the descendants of are, celebrations of the Caribbean island’s independence of ruling will go one – to the best during what still is very testing times.
Gaining independence in 1962 and Alexander Bustamante becoming its first Prime Minister,
Independence Day has stood as one of the most senior public holidays celebrated on the Caribbean island. A ‘National Day of Jamaica,’ and celebrates independence from the United Kingdom on this day in 1962.
Having commemorating its 59th Independence (on August 6) the yearly occasion that celebrates its foundation as a sovereign country, following the section of enactment that made freedom official, Jamaica and Jamaicans will be marking Independence Day with festivals that will be celebrated with grand parades, traditional music – including the World Reggae Dance Final and other events.
But, with Jamaica’s island-wide curfew still in place – due to the worldwide Covid pandemic, some Jamaicans will be searching for something at home for entertainment.
Whatever way, whichever way, “HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY JAMAICA!!!”
