“Westmoreland Curry Festival” is one of Jamaica’s leading Community Food Festivals.  This is the sixth year of the festival and it has grown from approximately 2000 persons to over 10,000 persons. The festival is the largest of its kind and continues to be the major Fund Raiser for the Manning’s School Development Fund.
 Curry has a rich history in the parish of Westmoreland. This dish is always served at social events along with a drink of white rum which is very popular in the cane belts.
“Westmoreland Curry Festival” is a family event and this Year it is even bigger and better. We have expanded the variety of curry dishes to include those of the Chinese and Indian community.
The booths will be adorned with ornaments from India and China. Chinese will showcase a wide variety of dishes including curried shrimp fried rice, curried pork, curried fish, beef etc. The Indians will entertain us with live roti making demonstration, Chicken Tikka Masala, Madrass Fish Curry, Mutton Vindaloo, Chana Masala, Aloo Bhindi, Sweet Indian curry and a variety of vegetarian dishes.

The Nigerians will also be showing off their skills while our own experts will be serving up some good old curry crab, lobster, goat, chicken etc.
Visit our pastry booth and sample our curry cake, pudding, pie, tarts, patties etc. There is also curry soup and a curry ketch up that can be applied to your meal to give it that extra flavour.
Jamaica’s fine food is the product of a series of diverse cultural influences which highlights the colonial experiences of the Caribbean region. 
It spans the gamut of culinary infusions, notably from the Amerindians, West Africans, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch, English, Lebanese, East Indians and Chinese. This unique blend is underscored by the distinct flavor of our spices with curry being one of the most outstanding.
 We have created a large amusement park in which we will be offering rides on the Simulator, Bounce- About, Go-carts and many more. Your kids will enjoy these rides.
We will have four bars and twenty runners ready to serve up any order you can throw at them.
