GT TAYLOR'S CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA

Dubbed ‘the ultimate Christmas Night Show’, this long running stage show takes reggae music to Jamaica's south coast. Hosted by a well known radio presenter, GT Taylor, the quality of the artist line up, from veteran artists to newcomers, is guaranteed year after year. And so are the vibes. Part of the earnings go to local charities.

It seems that there’s a new format for this year: the show starts at noon, there’s a soundsystem showcase and the venue in right on the beach! It seems patrons were asking for more dancing and dancehall music and less live artists.

                              WHEN

The show takes place on Christmas day, december 25. You don't have to wait until after midnight to arrive at this stage show. Gates are open at noon and the show starts at 5pm.

                              WHERE

The venue is Crane Sand Bar & Restaurant, Beach Crane Road in Black River, the capital of the parish of St. Elizabeth. 

LINE-UP

This year’s line-up features, amongst others, Daddy-1, Chronic Law, Vershon, Mikeylous and Villa Dutch.

MORE

Besides promoting reggae music one of GT Taylor’s other purposes with the festival is the touristic promotion of the south coast region of Jamaica. The parish of St. Elizabeth offers a tourism experience that is the exact opposite of the all-inclusive ready made kind of tourism of resort towns Negril and Mobay. The parish boasts a lot of smaller, intimate guesthouses and to stay there is truly a unique experience.
