The return of water

THE organisers of of the Water Party — set for this Saturday — are all ready to provide patrons with a soaking wet event.

One of the promoters and director of Island Mas Jamaica, Andrew Bellamy shared, “As usual, we’re ensuring that the ladies are well taken care of with our ‘Ladies free before 10pm deal’ and with an affordable admission package, we guarantee that the Water Party will be an easy choice for the true soca and party lovers over the carnival weekend. “

Bellamy went on to share “This year we’ve expanded yet again to include more water than ever before with the use of three water trucks, and a ‘Wata mist station’. We’ve also increased the entertainment value by confirming deejay Busy Signal”.

Wisynco’s sponsorship and PR Manager Kimberly Lawson shared, “Wisynco saw the Water Party as a strong carnival event and the perfect opportunity for our brand WATA to title with.” She went on to say, “Over the years, the Water Party has grown to dominate the carnival weekend by delivering the ultimate party experience to their patrons.”

Shelly-Ann Curran, senior sponsorship manager of Digicel notes, “This year is a very special year for Digicel – not only are we celebrating 10 great years in Jamaica, but we’re also celebrating 10 wonderful years of being involved with carnival as a main sponsor. So partnering with Island Mas Jamaica for this event was only natural – in fact, it’s a perfect fit.

Soca selections will provided by ZJ Ice, Dj Billy, Richie Ras, DJ Sanjay from Coppershot, and Dei Musicale from Trinidad. Along with performances by Busy Signal and Voicemail and other surprise guest artistes, Appleton Jamaica, the partnering rum sponsor for the night, insisted that “The event never disappoints, and we are thrilled to be a part of the event, with the element of Appleton Jamaica Rum in the blood of all soca junkies across the island on the night of Water Party, you can’t go wrong with selecting this as your destination event for the night. They have great attractions and with their selection of artists and Djs, it is impossible not to have a blast,” said Jared Samuels from Wray and Nephew.

Bellamy shared that he is confident that the sponsors and patrons will enjoy the event, “We have partnered with veterans of the industry such as Wata, Digicel, and Appleton. We have carefully selected the best and most experienced Djs in the industry and the artiste selection will ensure the patrons jump and move, every step of every beat. We have kept the same venue as last year, the car park on Grenada Crescent, New Kingston and patrons can look forward to an ambiance creatively geared toward excitement, especially with the new mist station, slide zone and, of course, an excess of water to get soaking wet!”
