It will also be streamed on the CMC’s website, www.clarendonmc.gov.jm.

“Clarendonians both the young and old, look forward to our Christmas concert in the Clarendon Independence Park every year, not just because it is a spectacular event with a memorable and moving entertainment line-up, but also because it brings persons together to remind them of the reason for the season; love and unity,” said Maurice Marshalleck, Parish Manager (Acting), JCDC Clarendon Office.

“We were not sure if we would be able to host the concert this year because of the COVID 19 pandemic, but thanks to the assistance of our dedicated sponsors, many of whom are small businesses right here in Clarendon, the show will go on! We will be streaming the concert virtually on Monday December 21, 20 from 5:00pm, on both the JCDC’s and the CMC’s social media pages, and I can promise viewers that they are in for quite a show,” Marshalleck continued.Jodian PantryJodian Pantry
