Xodus Carnival, Jamaica’s premier carnival band, upped the ante with an exclusive content creation day on Sunday, October 27, 2024.

Following a successful virtual band launch earlier this month, this event offered media professionals and influencers a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in an unparalleled carnival experience.

Kamal Bankay, Executive Chairman of Xodus Carnival, was thrilled with the execution of the event, doubling down on Xodus Carnival being a family and not just a one day event.

“Xodus Carnival is not just an event; it’s a celebration of culture, creativity, and community. We wanted to give influencers and members of the media a chance to see firsthand the magic that happens behind the scenes, and this content creation day was the perfect opportunity to do so.”

Attendees engaged in interactive content creation moments, which included live interviews with Xodus Carnival’s talented performers, innovative designers, and dedicated organizers. The event provided exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the breathtaking costumes that exemplify the creativity and artistry at the heart of Xodus Carnival. Each costume showcased intricate designs and vibrant colors, reflecting the spirit of celebration that the carnival embodies.

The theme, “Utopia: Garden of Paradise,” was intricately woven into every aspect of the decor, transporting guests into an immersive environment filled with bold visuals, enchanting selfie stations, and interactive elements that brought the carnival spirit to life.

Sounds of soca could be heard blasting through the speakers as models took their turns at each photo area, carefully constructing the perfect, instagram-worthy content. Additionally, King of Carnival, Campari, kept the drinks flowing for both attendees and models alike.

Kandi King, Head of Marketing at Xodus Carnival, elaborated on the theme, stating, “What we wanted for this year’s theme was for carnival to be paradise, and I think we did just that. Thanks to our in-house design team, MasCreate Studios, for creating these beautiful costumes inspired by nature. I am so excited about the variety we have this year; we are the most inclusive we have ever been.”

As the anticipation builds for the upcoming festivities, Xodus Carnival invites everyone to join in the celebrations, starting with Xodus Remedy on November 8th. This event promises a spectacular display of music and dance, setting the stage for the highly anticipated 2025 Xodus Carnival.
