Hits and Jams (HJ) Bacchanal Wednesday saw thousands in attendance at the National Park Tarmac on Wednesday evening, as close to 20 artistes ‘mashed up the place’.
Although the event started a bit late, soca junkies were totally entertained by a line-up of star studded artistes, including Allison Hinds, Destra Garcia, Ravi B, Freezie, Kerry John, Orlando Octane and Swappy among others.
The local line-up included Jumo “Rubber Waist” Primo who had the audience in a frenzy. Now that the show is over, all roads will lead to the Hit and Jams Water World on Sunday for its annual beach jam. 
Originally started at the Splashmins Fun Park 17 years ago, the beach jam has taken up full residency at the HJ Water World, Providence, East Bank Demerara.
The beach jam will take the form of a May fair and will include the popular May Pole plaiting by members of the Gold Rush Dance Troupe out of the East Coast of Demerara.
In addition, there will be over $500,000 to be won in games and other activities that will be at the beach jam. Another feature this year will be a Jamzone Jingle competition, where the not so recognised artistes can submit a jingle and these will be played on the BOOM FM during a special segment.
During this segment, the public will have an opportunity to vote for their favourite jingle and the top three winners will have a chance to perform at the Jamzone Beach Party. Tickets for the beach jam cost $2000 and will be available at the venue.
