The Bacchanal season climaxed last weekend with a frenzy of activity – starting with Bacchanal J’Ouvert on Friday and ending with the non-stop, high energy road march through the streets of Kingston.

Bacchanal 2016 was certainly one of the best seasons ever and lived up to the theme “Bacchanal Legacy: The Dream Lives On”. Bacchanal Fridays had great attendance, Beach J’ouvert was off the charts and the weekend was absolutely fabulous. It was the result of hard work on the part of the members of an excellent team of sponsors, Directors, volunteers, DJs and bands.”

The directors of Bacchanal Jamaica are extremely appreciative of the cooperation and outstanding support of all our sponsors. Our lead sponsor DIGICEL, our long time sponsors Pure Country, Pepsi, Smirnoff, the RJR Group, Appleton, King Alarm, Jamaica Observer, Sparkles and socasize sponsor, Gatorade, Ambucare and new sponsors that have come on board including Ting, Red Bull, Happy Ice, Sagicor and Island Bet.

Djs Smoke, Richie Ras, Taj, Barry Hype, Richie D, Sanjay, Lantern, Chromatic and foreign DJs Private Ryan, Back2Basics, Lord Hype, Ryan Sayeed and Nuphoric all contributed to the fantastic vibes of Bacchanal 2016. Our entertainers – Bunji Garlin, Fayann Lyons, Destra, Kes the Band, Farmer Nappy and Dru were scintillating.

Thanks to all who worked unceasingly behind the scenes to make this season the success it was. Without our Mas Camp team, our volunteers, our security workers, our social media team, our gate and ticketing team and everyone else who made sure that everything ran smoothly, this would not have been possible.

Of course all would be in vain if it we did not have the support of our loyal fans and revellers and we sincerely thank them for their support over the years.

We take a break to reflect on the past eight weeks of a phenomenal carnival season and look forward to planning an even bigger and better Bacchanal 2017.
