The story

Fi Wi Sinting in Port Antonio

Fi Wi Sinting, patois for something of our own, is a one-day African heritage festival near Port Antonio in Portland, founded by Sista P to fund her rural school. It combines a performing arts program featuring Kumina, Jonkonnu and Nyabinghi drumming with an African marketplace and traditional Jamaican food.

Fi Wi Sinting, patois for something of our own, was born out of a practical need: founder Pauline Petinaud, known as Sista P, created the festival to help fund the school she established in the rural Portland parish community of Content.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's defining structure is its three-part format, performing arts, marketplace and food, held together in one location so that Kumina, Jonkonnu and Nyabinghi drumming each get dedicated performance space rather than being folded into a single generic show

02

The mystery stays covered

Its founding as a direct fundraising vehicle for Sista P's rural school in Content gives the event a concrete community purpose distinguishing it from festivals organized primarily around tourism or civic branding
