The Calabash International Literary Festival was founded in 2001 by novelist Colin Channer with the support of two friends, the poet Kwame Dawes and the producer Justine Henzell. Their aim was simple—to create a world-class literary festival with roots in Jamaica and branches reaching out into the wider world.

A three-day festival of readings and music with other forms of storytelling folded in the mix, Calabash is earthy, inspirational, daring and diverse. It’s the only annual international literary festival in the English-speaking Caribbean. All festival events are free and open to the public. Passion is the only price of entry. But voluntary contributions are accepted.

The festival is produced by the Calabash International Literary Festival Trust (the Trust), which also produces publishing seminars and writing workshops. The Trust is affiliated with the Friends of the Calabash International Literary Festival, a registered 501(c)(3) corporation in the United States.

This popular event is a re-enactment of the 1793 planting of the Breadfruit Tree. It sounds like a low-key affair, but in fact it is an excuse for a street party with music, dancing, poetry-reading, eating and drinking. In keeping with the food theme, there are culinary competitions to explore how to deal with this rather challenging, football-sized tree fruit. The actual re-enactment is a highpoint of the mid afternoon, featuring a vibrant parade with Kumina Dancers and drummers. Bread fruit was the cargo on the Bounty at the time of the infamous mutiny.
