This year Jamaica celebrates its 50th anniversary of independence from Britain. On Saturday, the golden anniversary year was ushered in with a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds and aroma. It was packaged as Fireworks on the Waterfront. This annual New Year's Eve event, organised by the Urban Development Corporation and used as a launch by the Jamaica 50 secretariat, saw spectacular fireworks and a very entertaining concert sprinkled with a wide choice of food.
The venue of the celebration, a large section of Ocean Boulevard, downtown Kingston, was defined by a nicely decorated and well-elevated stage at one end and some neatly arranged tents accompanied by a variety of rides for children at the opposite end.
