Socavivor, the ultimate destination carnival series, is set to take Miami Carnival by storm next month, with six massive events over five days.
Ronnie Tomlinson, the Brooklyn-based, Jamaican-born entertainment publicist, told Caribbean Life that, from Oct. 8 to Oct. 13, “carnival lovers from across the globe will immerse themselves in the vibrant energy, music, and culture that only Socavivor can deliver.
“Known as ‘Di Ultimate Carnival Adventure,’ Socavivor has built its reputation on curating unmatched experiences that capture the spirit of Caribbean carnival — bringing together the best in soca, dancehall, and reggae, while uniting cultures under one rhythm,” Tomlinson, chief executive director of Destine Media, added. “And this year, there’s a new way to experience it all — guests can purchase an exclusive Socavivor armband, granting access to all six events.
“With one armband, revelers can go all in: from sunrise breakfast parties to late night cultural celebrations, non-stop vibes await at every turn,” she continued.
Tomlinson said the festivities kick off on Oct. 8 with Bon Ami at District, setting the tone for a weekend of nonstop celebration.
The next day, she said the energy soars with Lyrikal’s “Happy Place” — “a joyful night with one of soca’s most magnetic performers, joined by friends for a feel-good celebration of island music and culture.”
Tomlinson said “Friday, Oct. 10, delivers a double dose of excitement.”
She said the day begins with the Big Bad Breakfast Party at The Deck, hosted by Caribbean power couple Bunji Garlin and Fay-Ann Lyons serving up high-energy performances, alongside a festive breakfast atmosphere.
“That night, partygoers will celebrate unity and cultural pride at International Flag Night at Mad House, waving flags from across the globe for a vibrant display of unity through music and dance,” Tomlinson.
On Oct. 12, she said Jabba Strikes Back takes over District with an all-black attire event blending dancehall, reggae, and soca, powered by a lineup of renowned DJs at ROOFTOP 4.40.
Tomlinson said the weekend wraps on Oct. 13 with Renaissance: Last Lap! Miami at Blue Martini Brickell, “a high-energy finale playing the best hits from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s—keeping the carnival vibe alive until the very last note.”
