February Is The Month For Romance and Reggae in Jamaica!
February is traditionally the month where Valentine’s day is celebrated over much of the world, and of course, Jamaica is no exception. It’s actually a really big celebration with loving couples declaring their feelings just as others do worldwide. Restaurants fill up, chocolates sell out quickly, and the card industry enjoys booming sales.

And if all that romance makes you feel like dancing, then February is the ideal time to do it, as it’s also officially ‘Reggae Month’, designated by the Government of the island, in order to recognise and celebrate the impact and contribution of reggae to the island’s cultural and economic development.
They specifically chose February because two reggae icons, Bob Marley and Dennis Brown, were born this month (February 6th and February 1st, respectively). This timing proved to be a huge success!
The Jamaica Reggae Industry Association (JaRIA) formed after the launch, and the Reggae Month Committee now organises a series of exciting events for locals and tourists to enjoy. Over the years, there have been a variety of themes ranging from ‘Women In Reggae’, through to ‘Reggae Jazz On The Waterfront’ – each one attracting major players in the industry.
The combination of the two events means that Jamaica is a buzzing place in February, allowing people to enjoy their natural love of romance and music, all in one!
But if you can’t make it to Jamaica in time for this year, then you can still celebrate in style. Island Delight patties are an authentic taste of Jamaica, so team them up with a tot or two of rum, put ‘One Love’ on repeat – and (apart from the difference in temperature) – you won’t know the difference. Enjoy a rockin’ romantic February!!
