The Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee festival has traditionally taken place in the hills of the world renowned Blue Mountains on historic grounds in Newcastle. It has been a three day experience filled with food, coffee and culture and has showcased indigenous arts and crafts, live performances and one of a kind experiences.

Organized as a joint initiative by the Tourism Linkages Network and key stakeholders, the 5th staging of the festival will continue to embody our culture as we seek to celebrate our homegrown coffee.

This year, as the festival embraces a month-long celebration of activities and events, we invite you to join us for a fully immersive experience from farm to cup (and plate). The festival is designed as Jamaica’s flagship coffee festival, demonstrating our rich tradition of coffee production in the Blue Mountains region and showcases Blue Mountain Coffee, coffee-related products, and the diversity of coffee, and explores the coffee culture in Jamaica, taking the lead from talented baristas and creative culinary artistes.

We invite you to discover the journey of coffee. Starting up in the lush Blue Mountains, come and visit some of Jamaica's coffee farm, as well sample the gastronomic delights on the heralded Blue Mountain Culinary Trail. Hike and bike the Blue Mountains also, to discover the true magic of what makes Blue Mountain Coffee so unique.

On April 2, the festivities will culminate with the Festival Marketplace—an extravaganza featuring local arts and crafts, coffee purveyors, food stalls, tastings, demonstrations and musical entertainment—bringing together local and international coffee connoisseurs, coffee suppliers, foodies and other interested parties.

You may also "Browse. Brew. Buy." at our Sip & Shop promotion in conjunction with retailers and cafes island-wide to ignite the senses to our home grown goodness of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and inspired coffee products, with special offers and discounts.
