Rum & ROSE – pouring rain threatened to flood away the spirits of the fun crowd assembled for “Rum and Rose” at Queen’s Hall, but DJs Arelon D Artman, Lurbz and Private Ryan worked their respective sets to introduce new Soca songs in tandem with prefered classics and coaxed the sheltering segments to embrace the blessings from above and enjoy them while giving thanks for life and the ability to enjoy themselves in our annual festival. Complete with a pink and white dress code, a colorful and interactive Veev Now booth and tasty edible treats and samples under the cover of their garden sanctuary space, Rum and Rose surpassed all expectations and will no longer be the best-kept secret in Carnival.
