Cayman community joins Jamaican independence celebrations
The green, gold and black colours of the Jamaican flag will be waved high as members of Cayman’s Jamaican community gear up to celebrate 63 years of independence with a packed weekend of events.
With thousands of Jamaican nationals now calling Cayman home, Jamaica’s Independence Day is celebrated in the Cayman Islands each year. The festivities recognise Jamaica’s independence from Britain on 6 Aug. 1962.
Cayman, formerly an outpost of British colonial Jamaica, broke its administrative ties with Jamaica at that time but has maintained long-standing cultural links with the neighbouring Caribbean nation.
