It’s been a beautiful day in Jamaica, and we’ve been poolside enjoying a Yacht Rock DJ set from Jake Cinninger & Wyllys, an autograph session with Holidaze artists, and all that the resorts have to offer.
In addition to the great light shows we’ve been getting from stage, a light show of a different variety is about to hit its peak tonight while Umphrey’s McGee, The New Deal, Perpetual Groove, and Lipp Service take to the beach stage to close out another great Caribbean Holidaze.
The clear, Jamaican nights have already provided a terrific glimpse into the night skies. But tonight, we should be getting a good look at the annual Geminid meteor shower that National Geographic has called, “the year’s most prolific annual cosmic fireworks show.” Could this festival get any cooler?!?
The Geminids are slow meteors that create beautiful long arcs across the sky—many lasting a second or two. 
Favoring observers in the Northern Hemisphere, the Geminids are expected to be most frequent within two hours of 1:10 a.m. ET in the wee hours of Monday.
The shower’s radiant—the point in the sky from which the meteors appear to originate—is the constellation Gemini, which rises above the eastern horizon after 9 p.m. local time.
Astronomers recommend observers head outside between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. local time.
