Carnival 2015 – The Growth of a Cultural Phenomenon

Carnival

Whenever carnival is mentioned in the Caribbean, its reference is often to the spectacle that occurs in Trinidad every year before Lent.

The sustenance of Bacchanal for more than 25 years in Jamaica is a significant factor in keeping the spirit of carnival alive on the island. The annual event offers patrons the best party experiences, fantastic costumes and exhibitions, premium alcoholic beverages, high energy Caribbean music and performances from the best DJs and soca artistes regionally.

This year Bacchanal comes under the theme “Untamed”, with support from longstanding sponsors that help to make each year better than the last.
