Jamaican Independence Day is coming up.

About Jamaican Independence Day

Jamaican Independence Day is the national day of Jamaica. It marks independence from the United Kingdom in 1962.

In 2027 it falls on a Friday; in 2028 it’s on Sunday 6 August, and in 2029 on Monday 6 August. Because it’s a Friday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in August 2027: International Beer Day (6 Aug), National Mustard Day (7 Aug) and National Mead Day (7 Aug).
