Pre-Carnival Megacade to blast through North and East Zones
The first motorcade got the blood flowing, but this megacade will have your blood boiling. The Carnival Development Committee is inviting everyone to get revved up for an explosive motorcade on 21st June. Come out in your band numbers, band colours and get ready to blow your horns and wave your rags.
 
The motorcade will leave the Multipurpose Cultural and Exhibition Centre, Perry Bay, at 1 p.m. and end at the Piggott’s Playing Field for more pre-Carnival jamming with local entertainment. The Halcyon Steel Orchestra and the All Saints Iron Band will get your fired up for panorama and J’ouvert, while the Mighty Bumm, Calypso Jim, Young Destroyer and De Bear will whet your appetites for the Caribbean Melting Pot and the Calypso Monarch. Giving you a taste of their soca will be Danski, Nina Nice, Byke, and Blade. Then the party will really get intensive with New Edition, Revo Band and 3 Cylinder.
 
The party’s just beginning, and you don’t want to miss a sizzling 2008 Carnival in Antigua. Bring a friend and come enjoy a megacade like no other.
