Best Weekend Ever (BWE) pulled scores of partygoers for its second iteration of six meticulously curated event concepts executed in Ocho Rios, St Ann, over Jamaica’s Independence weekend. The stylish set touched down in Ocho Rios from August 4 –7 for a weekend of fun in the sun. They were not disappointed!

Themed as an ‘escape to parade’, the euphoric destination party kicked off at Pearly Beach on Friday night with the high-energy I Love Soca Cooler Festival, making this its maiden voyage to the beach. Saturday kicked off with the popular day party Day Break and wrapped with New York’s trendy event Milk & Honey at Plantation Cove.

Zimi Seh Beach got Sunday started and culminated with the sophisticated beach party Allure. The series closed at Plantation Cove on Monday with the aptly titled Late Check Out party.
