Jamaica 56 – One Love, One Family

​On August 6th, Jamaica will be celebrating 56 years of Independence under the theme, “Jamaica 56 – One Love, One Family’.  The Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) is encouraging everyone to wear a combination of the national colours along with the traditional bandana to compliment this year’s Festival fashion theme, ‘Bandana Be Bold, with Black, Green and Gold’ to celebrate Emancipation and Independence.

The public can be involved in the celebrations by participating in a number of competitions, including the Window Dressing Competition, Social Media Competition, Best Decorated Business Competition, Best Diaspora celebrations, and Best Decorated Parish Councils and Towns for Independence.

Photographs, three depicting outside and three on the inside of the building, are to be submitted via email jamaicafestival@jcdc.gov.jm to the JCDC by August 17, 2018.
