About Public Holidays in Jamaica
Jamaica's holiday year is built around its national motto, 'Out of Many, One People'. Independence Day on August 6 and Emancipation Day on August 1 anchor a festive summer that flows into the famous Reggae Sumfest. Christmas is the year's biggest family celebration, with Boxing Day kept as a public holiday and the season extended by the Jonkanoo street tradition. Easter, Labour Day and Heroes' Day in October complete the calendar, and the country's Chinese and Indian communities add Lunar New Year and Diwali observances.
In 2024, Jamaica observes 10 public holidays including 10 national, of which 0 fall on a weekend.
