The 2024 Coconut Festival is set for Saturday, August 24, at 3 Deanery Road in Vineyard Town, Kingston, Jamaica. Organized by Jasmin McIntosh and her team at Brojahtosh Label, this event is more than just a music festival; it’s a family fun day and a treat for children.

They will be joined by a host of artists, including Jah Thunder, Booba Starr, Yahdeen Essence, Michelle Irie, Jah Gideon, Karamanti, and Jennifer Barrett, among others.
