The Jamaican Market

Kingston & St Andrew
Coronation Market
One of  the oldest markets in Jamaica . "Curry" as it is popularly known is an experience especially on weekends.

St Thomas
Morant Bay Market


Portland
 Musgrave Market
This is by far the best market in Jamaica. It is clean - West Street, between Port Antonio Square and Main Square

Musgrave Market is a real "off the beaten track" attraction in Port Antonio. Browse around the stalls selling fresh fruit and vegetables, crafts, clothes and cooked food.

Musgrave Market is safe compared to lots of other markets in Jamaica, however, always be aware of your surroundings and keep your hand on your wallet as the marketplace is not immune to crime.

St Mary


St Ann

Trelawny 
Bend Down Market
Popular on Wednesdays. Its a mix of flea market and farmers market. You can get just about anything here. Prices are usually pretty low.


St James
Charles Gordon Market

Hanover

Westmoreland

St Elizabeth

Manchester

Clarendon

St Catherine
Linstead Market
Since each town or village in Jamaica now has its own market, the Linstead Market has declined somewhat in importance. In the 19th century, however, it was a key meeting place for wholesalers of coffee and pimento for export. It is still one of the most frequented markets, however, because its reputation has lasted through the years as one of the best places in Jamaica to access fresh farm produce. The market has branched out somewhat, and now just about any item, from the latest fashions to toothpaste and homemade soap, can be bought from the vendors there, who sometimes display their goods in wooden stalls on the streets.
