Port Royal Seafood Festival

Port Royal Seafood Festival is often held to celebrate National Heroes Day. The highlight of this festival is the Celebrity Chef Cook-Off. For food lovers, the festival is a golden opportunity to experience fresh, traditionally prepared seafood and other local staples. Tourists can not resist the variety and rich flavored Jamaica dishes, namely conch fritters, steamed fish with rice and veggies, jerk shrimp skewers, and others.

Besides the feast, the festivals offer visitors live entertainment performed by some of the most popular artists throughout the islands. Therefore, you can sit on the beach, and enjoy your big meal while listening to live music under Jamaica’s warm sun. New elements are added to the festival each year to make it more engaging and exciting, such as marching band or practical information about protecting the environment.
