Jonkonnu
Well supported
The masked street masquerade of the Jamaican Christmas: costumed characters — Horsehead, Pitchy-Patchy, the Devil among them — processing behind fife and drum, in a tradition documented since the plantation era that blends African masquerade with European mumming. Parish troupes and Festival stagings keep it alive.
