Fall has arrived in the northern hemisphere and the Internet returns to its cosy season, pumpkin spice, Halloween obsession.

Meanwhile in Jamaica, it’s forever hot and rainy.

Luckily we always have food events and a long weekend to look forward to. Who needs “fall vibes” when we can celebrate Oktoberfest with the Jamaican German society; go to fun days, parties and food festivals during Heroes’ Weekend; and eagerly await the return of the Jamaica Food and Drink Festival in November.
