America’s First Jamaican Rising Day Parade
Our Goal: Raise $150,000 to launch America’s First Jamaican Rising Day Parade
History is about to be made in New York City.
On August 8, 2026, New York City will host America’s First Jamaican Rising Day Parade, a historic cultural celebration honoring Jamaican heritage, pride, music, culture, and global influence.
For the first time in the United States, the Jamaican community, the Caribbean diaspora, and friends of Jamaica will gather for a powerful celebration of culture, unity, and achievement.
Supporters across New York and the Caribbean diaspora are already stepping forward to help bring this historic moment to life.
But moments like this do not happen by accident.
They happen because visionary supporters step forward before the world fully sees the moment coming.
Today, you can become a Founding Supporter of a cultural celebration that will inspire generations.
