CORONATION MARKET

Coronation Market is the largest and most vibrant market in Jamaica. Located in Downtown Kingston, it is an authentic representation of the day to day lives of the ordinary Jamaican. It is where vendors from all over the island come to wholesale and retail all sorts of goods. The market has a reputation for selling goods much cheaper and offer them much fresher. Coronation Market or ‘Curry’ has a life and energy of its own, as men push around laden carts and vendors negotiate their produce in small, tight stalls. The busiest days are Fridays and Saturdays when it appears half of the country descend to get their fresh produce at competitive prices. Coronation Market is a loud and bold display of the island’s unique culture. However, it is advised to go with someone who’s familiar with the market and leave your valuables at home.
