Campari Sandz took things Back 2 Basics, returning to the beach where it all began for an unforgettable Independence Day celebration. On Thursday, August 6, Fort Clarence Beach in Portmore, St Catherine, was transformed into a sea of blue as hundreds of patrons followed the “Blueprint” dress code and turned out in style for an evening of music, entertainment and pure beachside fun.

The highly anticipated cooler fete delivered a lively mix of established and emerging talent, with rising dancehall acts Top Banks and Felonie19, among others, taking to the stage and giving fans plenty to rave about. Keeping the energy high from evening into the night was an all-star lineup of selectors, including DJ Mac, DJ Baba, DJ Don Hot, DJ Dwayne, DJ Panhead, Gugu Mental and Di Unit Muzik, who kept the Fort Clarence crowd moving throughout the Independence Day festivities.

With the coolers out, the music pumping and patrons bringing the vibes, Campari Sandz proved that sometimes, going back to basics is exactly what the summer ordered.
