BACCHANAL JAMAICA LAUNCHES NEW MAS CAMP FOR 2012 SEASON
Bacchanal Jamaica is working feverishly to complete the new home for the the Mas Camp at Stadium North. The new location will be the entertainment headquarters for the upcoming carnival season which will kick off on February 10, 2012 and culminate on April 15, 2012 with the Bacchanal Jamaica road parade. Many of the popular carnival events will be back including the Bacchanal Friday night series from February 24 – March 30. Also on the party roster will be Bacchanal Beach J’ouvert on April 7, 2012 and Bacchanal J’ouvert on April 13, 2012. Socaphiles can also jump, wave and get in shape with the return of Soca’cise at the Mas Camp.
Preparations for the new venue are underway as the new Mas Camp will bring to life this year’s space-aged theme, “Future Shock”. “We wanted to do something big and glitzy this time around” stated Earl Franklin of Bacchanal Jamaica. He also added, “This theme really allowed us to think outside the box and get creative”. Once opened, patrons will be able to view and purchase costumes at this new location at Stadium North. The change of venue will also allow for increased parking for patrons as well as greater accessibility by public transportation. Bacchanal Jamaica’s Michael Ammar concluded, “The old location had been very good for us but we are ecstatic about sharing this new experience with our revelers as we celebrate Jamaica’s 50th anniversary of independence.”
