State of Emergency

[Bnewb]

we were in Negril end of may and there was a state of emergency. i was thinking it was just to ensure no problems as the big week (can't recall the name) was coming up. i am pretty sure the week was sometimes in june though never heard a mention on this board .
i have not read of any recent problems with tourists in Negril . has there been any that people on the board are aware of ?
thanks

Dream Week is around the beginning of August every year & was/is mentioned on Negril.com.
It's a huge Jamaican holiday time with Emancipation Day and Jamaica Independence Day falling within the same week.
