PHILISPBURG, Sint Maarten – On Friday, November 22nd 2019, Rio Productions, Kalaboom Events, Xscape the Band and Krave the Band entered into an agreement to join forces for Carnival 2020 under the name “Road Gods” – which is scheduled to take place on April 30th and May 1st 2020.
The four largest event/carnival promoters came to the realization that instead of competing against each other and actively targeting the same revelers, sponsors and suppliers, it would be more beneficial to join forces to bring Sint Maarten’s beautiful carnival product to even higher standards.
For Carnival 2020 the revelers and spectators can expect nothing less than a professionally organized unified Mega Troupe with different themed sections, the very best local bands, special international guest performances, and costumes that are designed and fabricated by the best designers in the region.
The troupe leaders further explained: “bringing the four big brands together under one umbrella will immediately allow us to eliminate cost-inefficiencies and invest these freed up funds in product development. We will be able to add new features and new dynamics to the Carnival Parades, and preparation are ongoing to open new avenues that will enhance the over-all customer experience. Online registration and the processing of online payments is one of the features that is now being worked on. Being able to complete the registration online opens he door to carnival participants from abroad, which is needed to further grow the carnival
parade”.
In closing the troupe leaders stated: “by actively working together and bundling our local talent & expertise, we will soon also be able to export our Carnival product. Our objective is that “Road Gods” will make its’ guest appearance during large carnival events in the region to showcase our great local talent and remind the world that Sint Maarten Carnival is the sweetest”.
