Jamaican Food Event Calendar — April 2025
Wongaful April!
Like every other holiday in Jamaica, we continue to celebrate this Easter season with food. From eating bun and cheese every day to foodie events with family on the holiday weekend, we hope your hearts and bellies stay blessed during this time of year.
On top of Easter, April has a lot going on in terms of events. There’s Expo Jamaica, a few food festivals, and of course the Jamaica Carnival season. It’s definitely a busy time, but hopefully a fun kind of busy where we get to party, explore Jamaica, and spend time with friends and family.
As always, we’ve made this list just for you of all the food events we know are happening in Jamaica this month. If you’ve heard of any other events we should share, drop a comment or message us on Instagram (@wongagyal or @wearewonga) and we’ll add them to the list.
