Since its first staging four years ago, Republic Beach Club has grown to become one of the most anticipated events on the summer entertainment calendar.

The most recent staging that took place on Emancipation Day, August 1, was held under the theme ‘World Cup’. Several patrons dressed in World Cup gears, flocked to Plantation Cove in St Ann, for a day of great vibes and they were not disappointed.

From the musical stylings of DJ Mac and Baba, Kevi The Kinetic, ZJ Spectre, Brush1 and Franco, and Cyclone and DJ Marc Chin of Coppershot and others, patrons were kept busy dancing up a storm to current and past hit songs.

ZJ Spectre shared why an event such as Republic Beach Club is not to be missed.

“Yow, the people dem come out early and enjoy themselves. It was a vibe, believe me! This is one of those parties that as you enter the venue, the feeling is just phenomenal. The energy is just really good and positive,” ZJ Spectre told Observer Online.

A patron who identified herself only as ‘Chrissy’ was attending the event for the first time.

“I always wanted to come to this party and so I just decided to gather some of my friends and drive down from Negril just to have fun. I never knew it would have been such a nice party,” she said.

Tyreek Daley was seen dancing with his two female friends.

“The atmosphere is absolutely amazing It’s my first time coming to Republic Beach Club and the ladies are absolutely amazing. It’s good vibes all around,” said Daley.

Former Miss Universe Jamaica finalist, model and actress Esther Moore was also seen among those enjoying themselves at the event.

“I saw the promotion on Instagram and I decided to come. This is my second time and I love Republic bad,” said Moore.

Another patron, who identified himself as Logan, has been attending the event since its inception.

“Honestly, it’s just the theme and the vibes that keeps me coming back. Their themes are always fresh, and I feel like that’s what makes this event stand out from the other events. My friends and I, we look forward to coming to this event every year,” Logan shared.

For Mikhail De Gale, a director of Fete Republic, organisers of Republic Beach Club, listening to patrons has been the hallmark of the event’s success.

“It really boils down to consistent dedication to improving the brand. So each time we do the event and we have a problem, we speak to the patrons. We find out what they’d like to see done better and we make those changes going forward. We’ve just been growing from strength to strength with that,” De Gale told Observer Online.

He is pleased with the turnout and the overall execution of the event, despite a few hiccups.

“We’re very pleased with today’s turnout even though we had a few challenges, a bit of logistics and ship delays, but thankfully, everything came together nicely and the patrons are here enjoying themselves,” said De Gale who shared a high point of the day’s execution.

“The high point today was getting everything ready and then seeing the patrons come in. For me, there’s a certain level of satisfaction you get, when patrons arrive at the event and everything is ready, the bar has been set up and just seeing the patrons enjoying what we have put together.”
