A Jamaican music and food festival is coming to Melbourne

The cultural energy of Jamaica will be in full force when the Jamaican Music & Food Festival returns to Melbourne for a second installment following its inaugural sell-out event last year. 

The festival sets out to explore the most authentic corners of Jamaica, with a lineup that celebrates both international and local talent in a sunny waterside location. 

Jamaican reggae superstar Bushman and British-born artist Marvin Priest lead the lineup alongside a melting pot of dancehall, ska, roots and dub artists over five stages. 

As for the food on offer, expect bars serving up Red Stripe and Rum Punch alongside more than twenty authentic street food traders cooking up a storm with real jerk wings, curry goat, handmade roti, Ital (conscious vegetarian food) and refreshing coconuts.
