Nightlife
As famed as it is for its Reggae music, Jamaica is well known for its love of partying and that doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. All the larger towns on the island – including Negril, Montego Bay and Kingston offer a plethora of nightime entertainment including restaurants, bars and clubs. Most evenings start off with a drink just before sunset, followed by something to eat and then non-stop partying until the wee hours. Different clubs offer different types of music to suit all tastes. If it’s an adrenaline rush you’re after try Jackpot Jungle Casino in Montego Bay for a variety of gaming experiences – from blackjack and roulette to the slot machines and interactive gaming. "For more family-oriented entertainment, try a trip to the Centerstage Theatre in Kingston which showcases musical comedies in native tongues – a unique way of experiencing the culture of the island performed live." At least once a week, there is a torchlit, steel band show with limbo dancing and fire-eating demonstrations. Nightclubs feature jazz, soca, reggae and other music. For details of events, visitors should consult local newspapers. The Jamaica Tourist Board arranges ‘Meet the People’ evenings in various scenic locations throughout the island.
