Jamaica Food and Drink Festival 2025 unfolds from November 13 to 16 in vibrant Kingston, Jamaica. Hosted at Long Bay Beach Park and Kingston Waterfront, organizers—Jamaica Food & Drink Company and CB Foods—create an event that blends coastal ambiance with historic charm. Nearby, guests explore the iconic Devon House, the Bob Marley Museum, and the scenic Emancipation Park—connecting culinary discovery with Jamaican heritage

The festival began in 2014 as an ambitious extension of CB Foods’ PAN Chicken Finals. Since then, it evolved into a world-class, award-winning event—named “World’s Best Culinary Festival” in 2021 and 2022. Core features include live cooking demos, themed nights (like Pork Palooza and Picante), and the beloved Meet Street & The Market. Moreover, the festival now hosts masterclasses with international mixologists and wine & spirit tastings by leading brands like Absolut Vodka and Worthy Park Rum. Consequently, the event blends local tradition, global flair, and educational depth.

For wine and spirits importers, distributors, and producers, Jamaica Food and Drink Festival 2025 offers high-impact trade opportunities. The “swirl-and-sip” sessions and premium boozy brunches allow professionals to showcase and evaluate products in key consumer moments. Additionally, masterclasses offer direct exposure to Jamaican mixology trends and pairing insights. Meanwhile, dedicated B2B networking with local restaurateurs, boutique hoteliers, and tourism operators makes it easier to forge commercial connections. As international attendance grows—visitors came from Germany, UK, Canada, China, and India in 2024—the event increasingly functions as a Caribbean gateway. Therefore, participants gain brand visibility, consumer feedback, and partnership prospects in the resurgent Caribbean market.
