Grammy-nominated reggae singer Etana is set to headline Jamaica Fest 2026, a celebration of Jamaican culture taking place on Sunday, August 9, from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Veterans Plaza in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Presented by the Embassy of Jamaica in association with Right Now for Jamaica, Inc., the family-friendly festival will showcase the spirit of Jamaica through live music, cuisine, arts and crafts, cultural displays, and activities for all ages. Organizers say the event aims to unite the Jamaican diaspora and friends of the island from across the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region.

Known for hits such as Wrong Address, I Rise, and People Talk, Etana‘s performance is expected to be one of the festival’s major highlights. Additional event information, including updates on attractions and activities, is available through the festival’s official website at www.jamaicafestdc.com.
