APSWN in collaboration with ReggaeToReggaeRadio.TV, the Indigenous People Media, are pleased to
announce the 3rd Annual staging of the Jamaica African Dance Arts & Culture Festival 2018. We
return to Jamaica to continue to uncover, highlight and engage in the rich African heritage found in
every cultural & religious practice, language, music, food, and area of Jamaican life. It is our privilege
to share Jamaica’s fabulous and dynamic teaching artists with some equally dynamic African teachers.
The JADAC Festival focuses on the dance, drumming, arts & culture of this fruitful island and its strong
African presence. This cross-cultural program will take place at the lovely and spacious View of the
Ocean Resort located in Mammee Bay, St. Ann. We welcome and provide economic opportunities
for local vendors to provide delicious foods, crafts, specialized goods and services during the festival.
