Feterans made the Soca+ Festival their home and 'wining' playground for the first ever 12-hour staging of the event over the weekend. From 10 p.m. on Saturday to 10 a.m. yesterday, socaphiles from Jamaica and across the Caribbean, camped out on the lawns of Sabina Park for the cooler fete, sipping on their favourite mixes, chippin' and wukin' up to the hottest hits from some of the island's top disc jockeys and enjoying electrifying performances from the soca queen Destra from Trinidad and St Vincent royalty Skinny Fabulous, as well as dancehall artistes Aidonia, Ding Dong and Najeeriii. Here are the photo highlights.
