To provide patrons with the authentic Caribbean experience, the Jamrock Events team has joined forces with the Jamaica Tourist Board, Kendal Ginger Tea and Colorado-based company Lodgers and Automobile Rental Tax.

“We are humbled and grateful to the City of Colorado Springs as well as the Government of Jamaica for their substantial support for this event. This is the first time that there has been a partnership between the city of Colorado Springs and the country of Jamaica,” said Pearcy. “We are lucky to have a delegation from the Jamaican government coming to town to support the event as well as to meet with members of the local Colorado Springs government in an effort to bolster the relationship between Jamaica and Colorado Springs.”

He expressed that the music and jerk festival is “a testament to the power of music and culture in fostering unity, diversity, and unforgettable memories.”
