Campari, the iconic Red Passion spirit known for inspiring bold self-expression and unforgettable experiences, is once again bringing its signature energy and flavour to Kingston’s waterfront as title sponsor of the highly anticipated Fete Republic Night Carnival happening on Saturday, September 6.

The event will be held along Ocean Boulevard in downtown Kingston, and the wheels of steel are expected to be run with soca hits from Freeze International from New York City, Bloodline Franco, Marc Chin, DJ Lantern MD, Kevi Kinetic, DJ Mindless, Cyclone, Brush1, Fyahman and Zess all night between 9:00 pm and 5:00 am.

According to Dominic Bell, Communications Manager, J Wray & Nephew Limited, the Campari brand has decided to become a returning sponsor because Night Carnival has become a staple on Jamaica’s entertainment calendar, transforming the heart of the city into a vibrant spectacle of music, food, culture, and community.

“We are thrilled to return as sponsors of Night Carnival. As the streets light up with the rhythm of soca, dancehall, and reggae, Campari will be at the centre of this grand post-summer celebration, adding its unmistakable flair with specially curated drink experiences and immersive brand activations,” Bell said.

“Campari has always been about Red Passion, style, and connection, and Night Carnival embodies those very same values. We look forward to sharing unforgettable moments with our consumers and celebrating the creativity and spirit of downtown Kingston,” he added.

Additionally, Campari’s continued partnership with the Night Carnival underscores its commitment to supporting Jamaican culture, nightlife, and the revitalisation of downtown Kingston as a hub for entertainment.

Adam Fernandez, promoter of Night Carnival, for his part, said the organisers are thrilled to be able to return with the highly anticipated event and have Campari on board as the title sponsor for this year’s Night Carnival.

“Our partnership adds tremendous value to the event and truly elevates the experience we are able to deliver to patrons. This year, patrons can look forward to an even more vibrant and immersive celebration—a fusion of music, culture, and creativity with bold new elements that will surprise and excite. From enhanced stage productions to unique activations, we’re raising the bar to ensure that Night Carnival 2025 is an unforgettable experience,” he said.

Attendees can expect exclusive Campari Red Passion mixed drink specials showcasing bold and refreshing mixes.

The Night Carnival kicks off at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 6, with thousands expected to take over Ocean Boulevard for a night of celebration, creativity, and unity.

The next Night Carnival event will be in Miami, Florida, on October 10.
