Colourful launch for Jamaica Bacchanal 2011-canival time again
A colourful display of costumes took centre stage last night when Bacchanal Jamaica hosted its media launch of the 2011 carnival season, under the theme 'Once Upon A Dynasty', held at The Blue Mountain Inn Suite, Knutsford Court Hotel on Ruthven Road in St Andrew.
The highlight of the launch came in the form of the costumed models who paraded around the suite displaying the different carnival costumes which reflect the 'Once Upon A Dynasty' theme for the 2011 bacchanal season.
Macedonia, Princess of Persia, Zanzibar, Ming Dynasty, Moroccan Sands, Simyria, Atlantis, Shangri La, and Avalon themed costumes were showcased to the audience who showed their approval of the designs through cheers and handclaps.
Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture, Olivia Grange, sent greetings and congratulated the organisers for once again putting together wonderful costumes as well as for enabling another season of bacchanal. She also spoke of the opportunities that the series of events would make available for different persons such as the vendors with stalls and the youngsters selling water outside the gate.
An exciting display from a swordsman and acrobatic ninjas welcomed sponsor Digicel's Shelly-Ann Curran who gave a short but entertaining speech about the telecommunication company's relationship with Bacchanal Jamaica.
Now in its 11th year, Bacchanal Jamaica will have Bacchanal Fridays at the Mas Camp for a total of nine Fridays starting February 18 and running through until April 15. The Soca'cise party series will also be held at the Mas Camp, Mondays and Wednesdays from February 28 through to April 13.
The highly anticipated bacchanal events, Beach J'Ouvert, Bacchanal J'Ouvert and the Bacchanal Road March will be held on April 23, April 29, and May 1, respectively.
