Bacchanal Fridays returns
WEEKLY soca fete Bacchanal Fridays returns to Mas Camp in St Andrew tomorrow. Last Friday’s staging was cancelled due to Thursday’s general election.
Bacchanal Jamaica director Charmaine Franklin said patrons with season tickets would have been reimbursed for the missed night.
“The season tickets were sold for $18,000 and we will be refunding the cost of one night, $3,000 in cash. Patrons also have the option of accepting a VIP ticket for Bachannal J’Ouvert which will take place on April 1 in lieu of cash. Either option is redeemable at the Mas Camp only,” said Franklin.
The director said soca fans attending tomorrow’s event will be in for a special treat.
“We have been working towards presenting this fusion of Caribbean music and decided to go for it this year. Our fans love both dancehall and soca, so we decided to divert from a purely soca theme to make it a real Caribbean night,” she said.
Slated to provide the evening’s music are Trinidad and Tobago’s DJ Private Ryan and Creep from Chromatic.
Ticket costs are $1,500 pre-sold, $2,000 at the gate for general admission, and $4,000 pre-sold and $4,500 at the gate for VIP which is all-inclusive. Special rates are available to current University of the West Indies and University of Technology students.
