The last Sunday in November. Haven't been in two years, but it has been a great venue to sample various Jerk/Barrel Chicken. Maybe not "TRUE" Jerk Style cooking, but IMHO very good stuff. Paula and LLoydie do a great job!

I enjoy the crowd, but my only complaint is the music has been a tad too loud for my delicate ear drums... (not like it is going to change for me) LOL

They used wrist bands last time I went, so you could come and go all day and night if you pleased.

Enjoy,

WHAT?!?! I had no idea about this as I am never there that time of year! But this Nov I am gonna be there!!! Nice!
Thanks for mentioning this!

I enjoy it.

The food is good of course - kinda crazy. So many things to try and my belly fills too fast.

I like it because it's a local scene. Yes of course there are plenty of local scenes but this is when families will come out, and with their little ones too - earlier in the evening of course.

Yes, you have to be careful or the speakers will knock you off the cliff.

I count it as a classic Negril experience.

Thanks for the responses. It sounds like something worth checking out.

I was there for the 2010 one - and highly recommend.
Had about 6-7 vendors selling their jerk chicken and pork with rice/peas and a few other side dishes in addition to 3 Dives.
Also a few crafts vendors and a couple vendors selling toys and glow necklaces, etc for kids.

A lot of locals brought their children early. They had a children's dancehall contest for them - very cute.
Then just a little after sunset they had a jamaican comedy magician on stage doing several tricks.
It was great watching the reactions of even the adults, who I don't think had seen anything like it before.
When 2 volunteers pulled on the ends of a rope and supposedly removed the underwear of a third volunteer - it about brought the house down.
