The story

Treasure Beach Food Rum and Reggae Festival in Treasure Beach

Treasure Beach Food, Rum and Reggae Festival is a three-day south-coast tourism event launched in 2023, combining farm and rum-producer tours, culinary excursions, boat trips to Pelican Bar and reggae concerts from artists like Richie Spice and Jesse Royal, before Hurricane Melissa forced a relocation of its most recent staging to Kingston.

Hurricane damage has twice forced organizers to alter plans for the Treasure Beach Food, Rum and Reggae Festival since its 2023 debut, first pushing a break in scheduling after lingering effects from a storm, then relocating an entire staging away from the south coast after Hurricane Melissa struck St Elizabeth directly.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival has shown resilience through back-to-back weather disruptions, taking a 2024 hiatus after storm damage and relocating its planned November 2025 staging to Kingston's 36 Hope Road after Hurricane Melissa hit St Elizabeth, reframing the event as a recovery fundraiser rather than cancelling

02

The mystery stays covered

The Jamaica Tourist Board's continued backing through both the storm hiatus and the Kingston relocation signals an intent to keep the festival running as a recurring south-coast institution rather than treating any single year's disruption as a reason to end it
