Kingston Craft Market, Kingston

Located near the waterfront in downtown Kingston, the Kingston Craft Market is one of Jamaica’s most spirited destinations for hand-crafted art and cultural immersion. Housed in what was once the Victoria Market, this lively open-air bazaar offers a vibrant glimpse into the island’s soul - bursting with color, music, and warm hospitality.

Here, reggae rhythms set the pace as over a hundred shops display locally made treasures. You’ll find a rich array of straw goods, wooden carvings, paintings, woven items, tropical-themed T-shirts, beaded jewelry, and playful dolls. Many of the shirts proudly feature Jamaica’s lush landscapes or iconic figures like Bob Marley, celebrating the island's identity with every thread.

More than just a place to shop, the market is a social and sensory experience. Visitors are encouraged to haggle with friendly vendors - many of whom are trained in tourism and customer service - while soaking up the energetic atmosphere. The motto here is clear: “Hospitality is key.” And it shows in every smile, story, and handcrafted piece.

Whether you’re seeking a keepsake or a gift, or simply want to witness local creativity in action, Kingston Craft Market is a must-visit. It’s a place where art meets heart, and every item holds a piece of Jamaica’s rich cultural tapestry.
