The Palm Beach Jamaica Independence Festival is returning on Saturday, August 2, promising a full day of entertainment, food and family-friendly activities at John Prince Park.

It promises to be a vibrant celebration of Jamaican culture coming to Palm Beach County, Florida, from 12 pm to 10 pm Festivalgoers can expect a wide array of activities beyond music. 

The festival will feature a star-studded lineup of international and local performers, headlined by R&B Reggae fusion artist, Da’Ville; dancehall icon, Wayne Wonder and the legendary Inner Circle, known as the Bad Boys of Reggae. 

Attendees can also enjoy live performances from Chambah, The Silver Birds Orchestra, Amazyah the Great, Brother Gary, and curated throwbacks to classic festival hits by DJ Scorpion.

Highlights include the Miss Palm Beach Cultural Pageant, powered by Osborne & Francis Law Firm, where six cultural ambassadors will vie for the title of Cultural Queen in a multi-round competition featuring swimwear, traditional attire, talent showcases, and a Q&A segment.

Fans of the classic Caribbean pastime dominoes can watch—or participate in—a high-stakes tournament featuring players from five South Florida cities, all competing for the Palm Beach Independence Trophy and ultimate bragging rights.

Families are encouraged to join the fun with classic outdoor games like sack races, lime and spoon relays, and a bun eating contest. The Kids Zone will feature bounce houses, games, and a tech tent with virtual explorations of Jamaica, music stations, and interactive digital fun.
