AFTER 18 successful years in the business, Hits and Jams’ Jamzone Summer Break is here again, with three exciting nights of activities to commemorate its 19th year of existence.

At a press conference on Friday at the Herdmanston Lodge, Hits and Jams Director, Kerwin Bollers said that Jamzone has claimed merit of being called the greatest calendar event in Guyana during the August vacation, and this year is going to be filled with a whole lot of excitement.

The weekend of activities kick-starts from August 16 with the Soca Night Water Colours Beach J’Ouvert on the Kingston Kitty Seawall, behind the St. Stanislaus Ground. This event will involve paint, water and powder, and patrons will be entertained by the Boom FM DJs. Appearances will also be made by Mandela, Christo, Brandon Harding and Jumo.
Following the J’Ouvert is the Dancehall Night Concert on August 17. This mega-concert is to be held at the National Park, and will feature Popcaan as the main act, while Munga and Gage will also be sharing the stage.

The beach event follows right after the Dancehall show-down, and is the ‘wash-down’ for the long weekend of activities. This will be held at the HJ Water World in Providence on August 18.

The excitement gets even better, as by way of giving back to their supporters, Hits and Jams will be giving away a brand new car in a novel three-in-one-promotion. One lucky patron will be given the opportunity to win this car by entering a draw.

To enter the draw, persons have to purchase a three-in-one Jamzone season pass for $6,000, which allows access to all three of the events.
This is also a steal-of-a-deal ticket, since it amounts to $8,000 if you purchase the event tickets separately.

With the three-in-one ticket, you will receive a coupon to fill out to enter the draw to win the car. The winner will be announced on the day of the last event.
Bollers said that these set of activities makes it is a well-balanced event this year, and it caters for all.

Since its launch in 2001, the event has evolved and revolutionized the local entertainment industry, further reaping great benefits for Guyana’s tourism sector.
Some of the sponsors for this year are Liat Airline, Stag beer, Extra Beer, Royal Castle, Fast Graphics, and Demerara Distillers Limited.
