The riddim that moves and connects the world. A spontaneous street party in the midst of shipping containers from across the world. Experience the sights, sounds and tastes of Jamaica, how we move the world and serve as a logistical connection.

Quick facts – Jamaica:

10,991 sqkm. Despite our size, Jamaica is home to the 7th largest natural harbour in the world, and one of the highest mountain ranges in the Caribbean.
Telephone Service in 1878. Only 7 years after the invention of the telephone, Jamaica installed its first telephone in Kingston.
Piped Water Supply in 1799. Jamaica was one of the first places in the Western Hemisphere to develop a piped water supply system in 1799.
Jamaicans are known for their ingenuity, which other tropical country would seek to make a name for itself in a winter Olympic sport? That’s right, Jamaica has fielded teams in Bobsleigh, and the movie Cool Runnings is based on this fun fact!

In the Jamaica Pavilion:

An introduction to our extraordinary Blue Mountain Coffee, the most expensive coffee in the world.
The Music Studio spotlights some of our most iconic musicians, artists and producers.
Artwork in the shipping containers inspired by Jamaica’s annual International Reggae Poster Contest.
