THE annual Mountain Dew Stunt Festival takes place this year at a new venue and a new date. The event, which since inception was held at the Jamalco Sports Complex in Halse Hall, Clarendon, will now be held at the Police Sports Club on Hope Road on Labour Day, Monday, May 24.

The event will feature the Pro Impact Stunt team with leader and owner Jeff Ferris along with team members Nick Happel, Mat Sager, Ommar Estrada and newcomers to Jamaica Dave McDaniel and Corey Coffey.

“We are anticipating the usual large turnout as this is one of the few events where the entire family can come out and enjoy themselves,” said promoter Linval Gibbons.

“There will be the usual gravity-defying stunts, which are definitely not for the fainthearted,” he said, adding that there will be other attractions and entertainment throughout the day such as contests, games and rides for kids which will include mechanical bulls, ferris wheel, trains, trampo-leaper, helicopter, rock climber, merry-go-round and bounce-a-bouts.

The day’s entertainment will culminate with a stage show featuring Beenie Man, I-Octane, Ras Goudie, Rum Head, Blacker, Apachie Chief and Sarge, Voice Mail, Hitman Wally and Turner the Magician.

Sponsors for the Mountain Dew Stunt Festival are Main Event Entertainment Group, Chat!, Television Jamaica, The Jamaica Pegasus, Grace Vienna Sausage, Beaumont’s Car Rental, Dr Lushus and Hype TV.
