Carnival
The year 2015
marks the 27th anniversary of carnival in Jamaica. The lead activities called
Bacchanal Jamaica have “Mas Camp”, located at Stadium North, as its home.
All roads lead to Mas camp during the carnival season as revelers
gather on Bacchanal Fridays to dance, chip, wine, and get on bad all in the
build up for the non-stop partying of carnival week.
The Mas Camp offers “soca-cise” sessions on Mondays and
Wednesdays as well as the staple Friday afternoon lime for carnival and soca
lovers. Here persons are able to view and purchase costumes and enjoy prime

where soca fans come to learn the music of the year and to start the process of
