Easter in Jamaica

Easter in Jamaica is a time of reflection, vibrant traditions, and cherished gatherings. Whether indulging in seasonal delicacies, flying kites, or embracing the island’s festive spirit, celebrating Easter here - especially at Jamaica Inn - is an experience like no other.

Easter Traditions in Jamaica

Jamaicans celebrate Easter with time-honoured flavours. Spiced Bun & Cheese, a sweet, spiced bread with raisins, is paired with thick slices of local cheddar for a rich contrast of textures. Escovitch Fish & Festival features crispy fried fish drizzled with a tangy vinegar-based sauce, served with golden-fried dumplings. Fried Fish & Bammy, another staple, pairs crispy fish with bammy, a traditional cassava flatbread with deep roots in Jamaica’s history.

Easter in Jamaica includes vibrant traditions:

• Kite Flying – Symbolising renewal and freedom, kites soar at festivals across the island.
• Easter Sunday Church Services – Uplifting sermons, powerful gospel singing, and deep-rooted faith bring communities together.
• Carnival Celebrations – Revellers in dazzling costumes dance through the streets to the rhythms of soca.
• Beach Trips – Families gather along the coast for sun-soaked picnics, sea swims, and joyful moments.
