HEINEKEN River Sunday’s the family event in St Elizabeth will be bigger and better this Emancipation Day, August 1, the organisers say.

The monthly event, which will see its fifth instalment this Sunday, has been growing from strength to strength and is now a staple on the Southern Jamaica entertainment calendar.

The first instalment of Heineken River Sundays, held on Easter Sunday saw over 2,000 patrons coming out to support the event which showcased a special performance from Jah Cure.

Heineken River Sundays is a free event and all profits gained from the sale of food and drink will be donated to community projects. Promoter, Delmar ‘Della Danger’ Drummond’ says Jamaicans from all walks of life should come out in their Jamaican colours this Sunday. “Because it’s an emancipation party we want Jamaicans to show their colours, we will be playing all the hits from way back to now; all your favourite festival songs and we know the crowd will love it. The drink is Heineken so fans know to drink responsibly and come eat the best food this side of Jamaica.”
