KINGSTON, Jamaica — With just a day to go before the Jamaican leg of CeCe Winans’ “More Than This” world tour, organisers are ensuring the event is not only a musical experience but an inclusive and accessible one for all Jamaicans.

The concert, scheduled for Emancipation Day on Friday, August 1 at the East Lawn of King’s House, is expected to be one of the largest faith-based gatherings in the region. In a move to prioritise inclusion, event organisers Come Alive Collective have announced a suite of accommodations for senior citizens and persons living with disabilities.

These include designated entry points, parking for persons with mobility challenges and a wheelchair-accessible viewing stand. The viewing area will be operated on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited capacity, offering improved visibility and comfort for those who need it most.

Elderly patrons, particularly those aged 70 and over, will have access to elevated and reserved seating to ensure comfort and clear sightlines throughout the concert. The Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) will also provide three shuttle buses to transport patrons to and from the venue, two from the National Stadium and one from the University of Technology (UTech).

“We knew the general area would be where most of our elderly guests and members of the disabled community would be, so we made sure to put the right accommodations in place,” said Eric Hosin, event producer and chairman of the Come Alive Collective. “It was important to us that they felt seen, respected and comfortable. Accessibility and inclusion aren’t just trendy words for us; they are values we truly care about, so making those extra efforts was an easy decision.”

Members of the disabled community will be allowed to park directly at the venue. Elderly patrons holding general admission tickets will park at either UTech or the National Stadium and board the designated JUTC shuttle buses. Upon arrival at the venue, they will be banded and guided to their respective seating areas.

Hosin said his team has been deeply committed to both the concert’s spiritual mission and its charitable impact.

“For months, my team and I have poured our time, heart and soul into planning this event not just to deliver an unforgettable experience, but to ensure that the deeper mission of supporting these charities is fulfilled,” he said. “More than anything, this is about bringing Jesus to the people of Jamaica through music and meaningful entertainment. I’m truly excited to see it all come together.”

All net proceeds from the concert will go to five charitable organisations: the Governor-General’s Programme for Excellence, the Ophthalmology Unit at the Bustamante Hospital for Children, the Yadel Home for Children, Open Door Jamaica Foundation, and the Students Christian Fellowship and Scripture Union (SCFSU).
