About The Event

Portland Paradise Weekend, originally launched in 2016, offers a meticulously crafted series of activities for both visitors and locals to immerse themselves in the lush wonders of Jamaica’s unique parish. This four-day extravaganza combines well-planned tours with a captivating entertainment experience, all with the goal of reinvigorating tourism in the parish, piquing the interest of potential investors, and spur on the local economy, while providing an unforgettable journey through the heart of Portland.

The event seamlessly blends scenic tours with dynamic entertainment, including thrilling party events that have consistently delighted our annual audience of over 5,000 attendees. Furthermore, we’ve garnered an online following of more than 15,000 individuals who eagerly tune in to our social media channels. Our diverse audience encompasses tourists staying in the region’s hotels, members of the Jamaican diaspora—some of whom are former students of local high schools or their associates—residents of Portland seeking a weekend of top-notch entertainment, and revelers in search of a tropical escape. They all come to bask in the sounds and rhythms of Portland’s day and night life, savoring delicious jerk cuisine and our signature “PPW” cocktails in this paradise getaway.
