NOMADS Carnival Band is home for Guyana’s Cricket Carnival and is promising an unmatched carnival experience that will electrify Georgetown on September 28 and 29.
After a stellar debut at the renowned Brooklyn Labour Day Parade on September 2, where thousands of Guyanese in the diaspora flocked to support, the band is ready to continue its journey, bringing the energy and vibrance back to its roots.

Led by entertainment prodigy Marlon Jacobs, Nomads made an indelible mark at the Brooklyn parade, standing out as Guyana’s first band entry in the celebration’s history, under the Freedom Entertainment brand, a release said.
“The band’s participation was met with overwhelming support, not only from the Guyanese diaspora but also from the Government of Guyana, whose delegation travelled to Brooklyn to witness and partake in the historic moment.
“Under the ‘One Guyana’ brand, the government’s presence underscored their commitment to promoting social cohesion and national pride, highlighting Guyana’s ingenuity both at home and abroad,” it added.
It was further noted that the success of Nomads Carnival Band in Brooklyn has now set the stage for what promises to be an even more spectacular display during Cricket Carnival.
First up on September 28 is the Nomads ‘Ultimate Cooler Fete’ at the Marriott Beach featuring Jamaican Dancehall superstar—Kraff, and local powerhouse performers like Carlvin Burnett, Ckush, Lola Doll, Charmaine Blackman with more to be added.
The following day, carnival revellers can expect a cultural showcase like no other, as the band hit the streets with its dynamic, all-inclusive packages.
“From vibrant body wear to exhilarating music, Nomads is offering an experience designed to unite Guyanese from all walks of life, celebrating the vibrancy of our heritage and culture. The call is out for all those who want to be a part of this special event – registration is now open for the chance to join the road with Nomads and be part of carnival history in the making.”
Marlon Jacobs, the visionary behind Nomads, continues to push the boundaries of entertainment tourism in Guyana. A young pioneer in the industry, Jacobs has faced adversity, but his determination and passion have solidified his place as one of Guyana’s most influential figures.
With a social media following of over 150,000, he has inspired thousands of young people to chase their dreams, creating ripples of change not only in entertainment but in the entrepreneurial landscape as well.
His well celebrated success at the Brooklyn Labour Day Parade is yet another feather in his cap, representing his knack for innovation and ability to rally communities, both at home and abroad, around a shared love for Guyanese culture, the release pointed out.
As Jacobs brings Nomads to the streets of Guyana for the upcoming carnival parade, his mission remains clear: to create unforgettable experiences and foster unity.
“Carnival is more than just a celebration. It’s an opportunity to embrace who we are as Guyanese – resilient, diverse, and proud. Bringing Nomads home is my way of giving back to the culture that has shaped me and inviting everyone to come together under brand GUYANA,” Jacobs shared.
The upcoming events sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, Pressy’s and Magic City, not only marks a historic moment for the Nomads Carnival Band but also signifies an important chapter in the wider narrative of Guyanese pride and unity.
As we gear up for the festivities, Nomads is poised to deliver an extraordinary carnival experience.
Organisers are urging the public not to miss their chance to be part of the ground-breaking moment and to sign up and get ready to revel in a carnival experience that will go down in Guyana’s history.
