The Dragon Streetz Festival, one of the Summer’s most eagerly anticipated events, hosted on Saturday, August 24 drew thousands of patrons that ignited the National Stadium Car Park to celebrate Jamaican music, dance and street culture.

The event started as a lively street food festival, adorned with colourful zinc, car, and street-style decorations, and quickly evolved into a lively celebration of music and culture. Street vendors offered delicious party food, while guests played lively games of Ludo and dominoes before enjoying the live dancehall performance.
