January is band launch season for Jamaica Carnival. You should already be planning where you’re going to stay and your budget. Now it is time to coordinate those costumes. The big band Bacchanal Jamaica launched their presentation last night.
Registration will be open soon and their website is currently being updated but rest assured prices will be reasonable and different style options will be available for all body types.
Here is their presentation
Now I didn’t see a lot of the usual models and carnival gurus in Jamaica at this launch. I wonder where they are 🙂

I’m curious to know what your opinion is on the changes (and cost increases) for JA Carnival this year.
When planning to go this year, I knew it was a smaller carnival and I was anticipating for a ‘cheaper’ carnival. The prices have increased (more than average in a year) and they are implementing several changes (4 bands vs 1 & 4 different routes)….
Hi Ceeme, Jamaica carnival has grown tremendously, with growth, comes more of a demand and of course increased prices. Bacchanal Jamaica has managed to stay somewhat affordable, and I believe Xaymaca is as well in comparison to Xodus. That said, if a carnival stays stagnant, people will lose interest in their product. I would stick with Bacchanal Jamaica if you want the unchanged “Jamaica Carnival” experience or try Xaymaca for something different. Hope this helps.
Nice poost
