Jamaica National Day (Independence Day) was first celebrated on August 6, 1962 by raising the National Flag which signified the birth of the nation.

This auspicious occasion is celebrated every year in Jamaica and the 6th day of August is a national holiday in Jamaica.

Jamaicans have played an integral part in the development of American politics, music, acting, sports and culture and cuisine.
