The event featured entertainment from local DJs DJ Noah and DJ Slim, followed by a special performance by Child Focus and an energetic set from Saba's own Entyce Band who had the crowd full of energy and good spirits. Guest DJ Maestro from St. Maarten closed out the evening, rounding off the night on a high note.
Local vendors offered a wide selection of food and drinks throughout the event for attendees to enjoy. One of the night's highlights was the annual Jungle Juice Competition. Ian Hassell took home this year's title for first place as well as crowd favorite, with Stanford Johnson placing second and Gideon Wilson finishing third.
The Road to Carnival event was a great success in helping get everyone into the Carnival spirit for the weeks ahead, setting the stage for what promises to be a memorable 50th anniversary celebration.
The Saba Tourist Bureau wishes to thank everyone who contributed to the event success, including all participating vendors, entertainers, and the participants in the Jungle Juice Competition. A special thank you goes to the sponsors of the Jungle Juice Competition: Juliana's Hotel, Tropics Café, Makana Ferry, Winair, Jewel Cottage, Island Paradise, and Brigadoon Restaurant.
