The first sunrise of 2024 blessed the Oriental Gardens of The University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona Campus whilst the Sunnation event promotion outfit hosted an army of fêters for its Sunrise Breakfast Party, New Year’s morning edition. The venue offered a spacious party playground for revellers to ring in the new year from daybreak to dusk.

“We wanted a central location that was easily accessible to our loyal patrons, and able to host them comfortably. With school being out and most of the campus being away for the holidays, we thought the Oriental Gardens at UWI would check all the boxes for the perfect venue,” Phillip “PP” Palmer, managing director of Sunnation Promotion Co Ltd, told Page 2.

Carnival lovers have come to expect this kind of thoughtful venue selection and top-shelf production quality from the Sunnation group, which includes directors Oliver “Olly Mo” McIntosh, Ian Bourne, Andrew Bellamy, along with Phillip “PP” Palmer.

Sweet musical stylings came via Chromatic, DJ Tyler, DJ Lantern, Brush1, Jazzy T, DJ Mac and Baba, Tonio and Fyahman, DJ Quan and DJ Bloodline Franco, while headliner Valiant delivered an energetic live performance along with rising stars Najeerii, RajahWild and Kraff.
