This year, all roads led to home for what is becoming a tourism and entertainment staple, the Jamaica Rum Festival, presented by Appleton Estate in association with the Jamaica Tourist Board, the Tourism Enhancement Fund, and the wide array of local rum producers. On Saturday, March 27, the festival, which included a week-long line-up of informative and entertaining seminars, culminated with a virtual concert featuring Shenseea, Shaggy, and Sizzla. Something Extra brings you the highlights.
