Swap Slush for Sun This Winter with a January Break to Jamaica
If you’re looking to start the New Year with a dose of winter sun, then Jamaica has just the tonic. With a selection of sizzling holiday deals coupled with world-class events, such as the Jamaica Jazz and Blues 'Art of Music' Festival, you'll be sure to beat those January blues.
If you're lucky enough to be in Jamaica the weekend of 26th–28th January 2012, then ensure you visit the Trelawny Multi-Purpose Stadium for the unmissable 16th annual Jazz and Blues 'Art of Music' Festival. Headline acts include the multi-platinum, five-time Grammy award-winning singer Celine Dion and international superstar and X Factor judge, Kelly Rowland.
For the more discerning culture vulture, 5th January 2012 plays host to the 273rd Maroon Festival which celebrates the legendary Maroons of Western Jamaica, the historic descendants of runaway slaves which fled to Jamaica's untouched South Coast in pursuit of freedom. The occasion is marked with traditional singing, dancing and local Jamaican cuisine.
So, with a selection of events suitable for types of holidaymakers and affordable offers currently available during January, now is the time to book that winter sun break to Jamaica.
