With just one day remaining until the Jamaican leg of CeCe Winans’ ‘More Than This’ world tour, organisers have assured that the event is designed not only to entertain but to create an unforgettable worship experience for every Jamaican, including the elderly and persons living with disabilities.
The concert, set for Emancipation Day (August 1) at the east lawn of King’s House, will be one of the
largest faith-based gatherings in the region.
In a bid to create a more inclusive experience, event organisers Come Alive Collective have implemented several thoughtful accommodations to ensure the comfort, safety, and dignity of every patron.
These include designated entry and parking areas for persons with mobility needs, as well as a wheelchair-accessible viewing stand. The accessible stand will be operated on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited capacity, offering improved visibility and convenience for those who need it most.
In addition, elevated and reserved seating will be provided for senior citizens aged 70 years and over. This
ensures that elderly patrons can enjoy the concert in comfort, with unobstructed views. Transportation has also been made easier with a shuttle service provided by the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC). Three buses, two stationed at the National Stadium and one at the University of Technology (Utech), will transport patrons to and from the venue.
“We knew the general area would be where most of our elderly guests and members of the disabled community would be, so we made sure to put the right accommodations in place. It was important to us that they felt seen, respected, and comfortable. Accessibility and inclusion aren’t just trendy words for us; they are values we truly care about, so making those extra efforts was an easy decision.”
—Eric Hosin, event producer and chairman of the Come Alive Collective.
Members of the disabled community will be allowed to park directly at the venue.
Elderly patrons with general admission tickets will park at either the University of Technology (UTech) or the National Stadium, where the designated JUTC buses will shuttle them to the venue.
Upon arrival, they will be banded and guided to their seating areas.
“For months, my team and I have poured our time, heart, and soul into planning this event—not just to deliver an unforgettable experience, but to ensure that the deeper mission of supporting these charities is fulfilled. More than anything, this is about bringing Jesus to the people of Jamaica through music and meaningful entertainment. I’m truly excited to see it all come together,” Hosin shared.
One hundred per cent of net proceeds will go to five named charities: Governor-General’s Programme for
Excellence, the Ophthalmology Unit at the Bustamante Hospital for Children, the Yadel Home for Children, Open Door Jamaica Foundation and the Students Christian Fellowship and Scripture Union (SCFSU).
