When going up the Black River to view the local crocodiles, don’t miss Sister Lou’s River Stop for the best tasting crab backs in western Jamaica!
Black River in St. Elizabeth is Jamaica’s longest navigable river and so named for the dark colour of the water. The water looks black because of the dark colour of the bottom of the river.
The Black River is famous also for being a home to Jamaica’s crocodiles.
Going on a Black River safari is a popular tourist attraction.

I will be adding more events here as I get them. Feel free to add more / your events in the comments or on our facebook page!
Coming up too is another Calabash (YAY!) and Kingston on the Edge 2012!
Kingston Kitchen is a Jamaican food experience that showcases what Jamaicans are doing locally in the food industry, modelled along the lines of food markets or fairs that are held weekly in cities across the United States and Europe.
The next Kingston Kitchen is Saturday, March 31. YardEdge talks to Leisha Wong, one of the creators…
YardEdge: What’s Kingston Kitchen all about? What are you trying to achieve?
Leisha: The idea behind Kingston Kitchen is two-fold. Firstly we really felt that there was a gap in the entertainment scene for family-oriented events, where families could come out and really enjoy themselves together in a fun, safe environment.
Being foodies, and believing that we have such a vibrant culinary industry, we wanted to create an arena where small batch vendors and home cooks, could promote their products to the public and interact with the clients. It was all about bringing like minded foodies together in one space.
YardEdge:How did it get started?
Leisha: Literally, we saw that there were similar markets across Europe and America. We felt the landscape was ripe for something like this in Jamaica.
YardEdge:Who are the people behind it?
Leisha: Leisha Wong, Jacqui Sinclair and Melanie Miller. We call ourselves the Kitchenettes! We work great together, because each of us has our own strength!
Jacqui is the real out chef and foodie. Leisha has a background in journalism, and she put together the idea of the magazine (which is produced for each event). And Melanie has experience with the South Beach Win and Food Festival as well as the Jamaica Observer Food Awards, and so is the logistics lady.
Check out this very cool blog by Louis Masai Michel to discover his 50 Gazelle print series which have been put up by the artist all over Kingston.
From his blog…
THE HEARD OF 50-GAZELLES
