JAMAICA NIGHT MARKET. What YOU should do in KINGSTON.

The most unique night attraction in Kingston, Jamaica, is the Kingston Night Market. There are many reasons why it should be a must-visit place for both tourists and locals alike—from being a hub for experiencing Jamaican culture to uncovering its rich history that dates back to Dr. Olive Lewin, Jamaica's renowned ethnomusicologist and founder of The Jamaican Folk Singers. Next time you're visiting Jamaica, make sure to find time to visit Kingston and spend an evening at the Kingston Night Market to experience authentic Jamaica. Special thanks to all the artisans who agreed to give us interviews on camera (see their contacts below) and to Hyacinth McDonald, the founder and CEO of the Kingston Night Market, who kindly shared the full story of the Kingston Night Market. ► Support us on Patreon   / jamaicawithirie   🔴 RENT A CAR IN JAMAICA: Ucal's Car Rentals & Charter Services https://ucalsrentacar.com/ WhatsApp/Call: +1 876 449 72 90 🔴 BOOK TOURS WITH US: https://irielab.com/ 🔴 WORK WITH US ► Would you like to be featured as a sponsor?
