JACRA blends coffee with reggae vibes

Emancipation Park is buzzing with excitement today as the rich aromas of freshly brewed coffee and decadent cocoa creations fill the air, marking the return of the much-anticipated Coffee + Cocoa Live!, presented by the Jamaica Agricultural Commodities Regulatory Authority (JACRA).

The celebration of Jamaica's iconic beverages will reach a high note when powerhouse reggae singer Bushman takes the stage. The soulful artiste, best known for hits such as Light House, Worries And Problems and Arms Of A Woman, is set to close the evening with a stirring performance that promises to leave a lasting impression on the crowd.

Held in observation of International Coffee Day and National Cocoa Day, Coffee + Cocoa Live! spotlights two of Jamaica's most treasured commodities, creating a vibrant fusion of culture, flavour, and community spirit.

From 2 p.m., visitors will have the chance to sample the island's finest locally grown coffee and cocoa, engage directly with producers, and soak in a dynamic mix of entertainment. Stakeholder booths will showcase a variety of products, while attendees enjoy tastings, giveaways, and educational features highlighting the crucial role these industries play in Jamaica's heritage, economy, and global reputation.
