Craft Market / Bend-Down Market
📖 Kingston's 'Bend-Down Markets' are a vibrant hub for resellers, offering a diverse array of goods. Coronation Market, known locally as 'Curnashan Mawkit' or 'Duppy Market,' is the largest market in Jamaica and a prime spot for fresh produce, spices, and handmade items, where vendors, or 'higglers,' display remarkable resilience. The Kingston Craft Market, near the waterfront, specializes in authentic Jamaican souvenirs, art, carvings, and apparel, with haggling often part of the experience. Papine Market is another lively spot, particularly for fresh produce and local crafts, though it can be crowded. Resellers here often find unique, handcrafted items, from wooden figures and beaded jewelry to local artwork and clothing, with a strong emphasis on supporting local artisans. An insider tip
