Pepsi Cola Jamaica is the official beverage partner for the 2023 staging of Xodus and Yardmas Carnival, including their lead-up events.

In making the announcement, Pepsi Brand Coordinator Yanique Dawkins said, “The company’s decision to sponsor the Carnival bands was a no-brainer as we have always supported any event that promotes Jamaican culture and brings people together through the love of music.”

With brands Pepsi, Tropicana and Ocean Spray at the forefront, attendees can look forward to exciting drink mixes and even giveaways through the various social media platforms.

“We are thrilled to bring our brands to the forefront of the Jamaican soca scene through this partnership with Xodus and Yardmas — two of the leading carnival bands. As a company, we believe in supporting culture, and at these fetes we are merging refreshment and entertainment together to create an even more memorable experience for the patrons,” she continued.
