Jamaicans won’t readily admit it but we love ‘freenis’ – that is anything we can get or enjoy for free without having to pay anything for it. When you want Jamaicans to show up or take part in an event, there are certain things that will get people out. Here are some examples of 5 Free Things That Will Get Jamaicans Out :
1. Friend moving to away
So your friend is moving away and you know he/she owns some really great stuff. Of course the plane won’t hold all that so being the good friend that you are, you’re there to help pack, clean up, and take those pesky leftovers off their hands. You have just saved them the trouble of having to figure out what to do with their belongings and earned some great free stuff in return. (click next at the top of the page)
2. “Refreshments will be provided”
If you want Jamaicans to support your event, make sure there’s free food. Some fried chicken, couple rolls, cake and something to wash it down. The food doesn’t need to be perfect but make sure it tastes good, or else you will hear about it – free food or not! (click next at the top of the page)
3. Free Party/Concert
Jamaicans will not miss a free party, concert or community dance. This is especially true if a big name artist is included in the lineup. We never say no to the chance to party, whether day or night, and show everyone just how much we can dance. It’s also a prime occasion to show that we can dress to kill.

4. Giveaway
Whatever you’re giving away, we want some of it. From branded pens and bags to gadgets we have no idea what to do with, say you’re giving something away and we’re there. Back-to-school treats and Christmas treats are popular for a reason. They’re sure-fire places where ‘freenis’ is abundant. (click next at the top of the page)
5. Free Medical
A free health clinic will see hundreds or thousands turning up, but this one is more out of need for some people. Whether it is free check up by visiting specialists, or free medication, this is the one opportunity many attendees have to get their health checked for only the cost of bus or taxi fare.
Jamaicans love ‘freenis’ but we are also a proud people. Never assume that we can’t afford to pay for it just because we want something for free. (click next at the top of the page)
