The story

St. Mary Mi Come From in St. Mary

A St Mary Mi Come From is reggae artist Capleton's charity concert for his home parish, founded in 2000 at Clements Park and now often staged at the Gray's Inn Sports Complex in Annotto Bay, with proceeds supporting named local schools and hospitals including Islington High School and Port Maria Hospital.

Capleton launched A St Mary Mi Come From in 2000 at Clements Park as a personal give-back gesture to the parish where he grew up, rather than as a commercial concert promotion.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The concert is built around one artist's personal commitment to specific named beneficiaries, his own alma mater and local hospitals, rather than a general charitable cause, and Capleton has typically headlined every staging himself across more than two decades and several hiatuses

02

The mystery stays covered

Its survival through repeated funding gaps and weather cancellations, rather than folding permanently after any single setback, sets it apart from most artist-branded charity concerts on the island, which tend to run for only a few years before quietly ending
