What to wear and bring to Reggae Sumfest

When it comes to what to wear, comfort is key.

Ladies, go for cute sneakers instead of heels, as you'll likely be on your feet all night.

Don't forget your smartphone and a power bank to capture those priceless moments.

Consider bringing a hat or umbrella in case of rain, and stylish shades for those events that stretch from dusk to dawn.

And of course, stay hydrated to keep your energy up during the festivities.

Safety and security

You'll find it much safer to get a local chaperone or driver to take you to and from the events. 

Ask your hotel to suggest a certified JUTA driver you can book for a safe journey.
