Manchester To Offer Unique Cuisine & More With Upcoming Food & Drink Festival

Posted on November 18, 2024January 3, 2025 by swadedavillain

[NEW DATE, Jan. 1, 2025]

2024 has been a year for big events. Whatever your taste was, the Island had an event to accommodate you. While many big events are held in the Island’s capital of Kingston, there have complaints and suggestions to give the other Parishes a chance to host. The Parish of Manchester, where the city life collides with the country life, has been one of the spots that seeks to provide a home to many special events. Next year, it will launch its own Food & Drink Festival.

Organized by Di Village and held at Brooks Park in Mandeville, the “Manchester Food & Drink Festival” aims to introduce a variety of unique cuisine to the public, provide a platform for the upcoming and seasoned Chef, host live entertainment, and amplify the message that the Parish of Manchester is very capable of hosting some of the Island’s best events. With the construction of the Southern Coastal Highway, transportation has been made easier, making the Parish a central hotspot. The Festival was announced earlier this year, and the Organizers have been on the road spreading awareness of the event, inviting Vendors and Sponsors to make their contributions to the event, and adding the finishing touches for the big day. Olivia Coley, a member of the organizing team, has been making connections with various Schools in the Parish, giving students with Culinary ambitions to showcase their talent through a series of events at the Festival. She looks forward to great support from not only Manchester, but the rest of Jamaica, and hopes to make it a yearly family event.

For the foodies, food lovers, and Festival seekers, the “Manchester Food & Drink Festival” welcomes you on Wednesday, January 1 at Brooks Park, Mandeville from 1 P.M. to 10 P.M.. You can pay at the gate to attend, and they range from $2000 for Adults, $1000 for the 10-17 age group, while kids enter free. If you wish to secure tickets, “Dealz N Tings” at Grove Court (Mandeville), and “Water Drops Waterstore” at the Central Dealers Mall (Formerly Caledonia Mall in Mandeville) are the outlets to get them. For more information, visit @ManchesterFoodandDrinkFestival on Instagram, and @ManchesterFoodandDrink on TikTok.

Recently, the Deejay took the energy to the United States as a part of the Reggae Fest event series.

Performing at the Citizens House Of Blues in Boston, Massachusetts on August 24, Elephant Man took over the venue like the true Dancehall veteran he is. Those in attendance of the sold-out event were in for a treat as Ele performed hit after hit out of his extensive catalogue, and in return they celebrated a Deejay who has been a hitmaker since the late 1990s. Elephant Man has been one of the go-to Dancehall acts to include in Festivals, and he continues to give it his all to those in attendance in song, dance, and energy. Reggae Fest is a party series founded by Epic League Entertainment in 2015, and has been one of the more anticipated events in various cities over the years.

Fans of Elephant Man who missed out on the Boston show, can see him live on August 31 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York as a part of Reggae Fest’s Labor Day Weekend festivities. The Deejay is currently promoting the singles, “Work Out”, “Bad Gyal”, “Dancing School”, and “Forever Dance”, which have been receiving positive feedback since their release throughout the summer.
