About Grand Market:

Originally a Jamaican tradition, Christmas Grand Market has been reimagined by Braata Productions as a celebration of Caribbean Christmas Traditions at large. By bringing together holiday customs and artists from various countries, Grand Market is an annual opportunity to connect generations and cultures in the holiday spirit.

This year for our 13th installation, Christmas Grand Market is more than a celebration– but a call to action. After the catastrophic damage brought by Hurricane Melissa, this year Grand Market will include a relief concert– mobilizing aid for on the ground efforts to Western Jamaica.

We’ll have donation barrels as part of our relief drive available at the event. Feel free to bring non-perishable food for the emergency drive or help us clear out our Amazon Relief Registry on-site.

About our Relief Drive:

Many families in Western Jamaica, tucked away in the hills and lush countryside, are often the last to receive help after disasters. Beyond the damage to homes and infrastructure, the loss of crops and livestock has left many communities facing food insecurity and limited access to cash and resources. Currently in our relief drive, we’re focusing on non-perishable food items, for example: Sardines, Corned Beef, Tuna, Mackerel, Vegetables, Beans/Peas, Rice, Pasta, Oil, Vienna sausage, etc.

Every seat filled helps send aid to recovering families, and all proceeds will directly fund relief efforts.

Captioning is being provided, in part, by a grant from NYSCA/TDF TAP Plus.
