This spot is so beautiful and serene that people have to literally tear themselves away at the end of the festival each year but vowed to return the next year . The stage for reading was only a few yards from the sea which, along with the rising variegated green St. Elizabeth hills form a picturesque backdrop ,together with all this is the musical crashing of waves as they splatter onto the sandy beach .Each year as the time drew near spirits were heightened and many started to dream of the array of the different kinds of food not to mentioned wide selection of sea foods which were be presented for the taking
Travelocity-Jamaica However the hunger for the feast of the word wasgreater and by Thursday all available rooms in all south coast hotels were booked solid. If one wished to attend this festival and wanted to stay in this area s/he had to book a room sometimes months before . Community tourism is practiced in the area and residents gladly share their rooms for a small fee. To them this was a welcome respite and helps to enhance their economy which is slow at that time of the year . There was such richness to this festival that none who is literary inclined wanted to miss it. The beauty about it is, all young and new writers who have talents hidden are given the opportunity to show off on the open mike sessions available each of the three days.
Many young writers have been discovered and will continued to be discovered maybe at some other international literary festival. But sad to say not Calabash. The festival was not one of only mere reading of word, but there was always live musical entertainment. Many of the poetry pieces especially the “Dub” pieces are presented accompanied by skilled drummers who evoke the ancestral spirit of mother Africa as the sounds their drums roll on the waters and echo in the rising hills.
Calabash Literary Festival was the brain child of the acclaimed Jamaica author Colin Channer. Author of the novel ‘Waiting to Exhale’ a good read. .
Well ,I am indeed sorry you had not planned for one of those days your vacation around that literary festival because May 26-28, the Calabash Literary Festival, Jakes, St. Elizabeth , Jamaica, was the place to be .You can say you read it on Travelocity Jamaica..Take it from me it was just too good a festival to have died and someday you will hear of something a similar rising on the Jamaican shores. At the same times St.Elizabeth is still a beautiful part of the island to visit
