All systems are go for the March 13-19 staging of the Best Dressed Fun In The Son Festival, where the main concert will take place on March 19 at the UWI Mona Bowl in St. Andrew, Jamaica. The exceptional event which has garnered a reputation for its unmatched activities and stellar musical lineup, was launched on Thursday, February 24 at the Church on The Rock in Kingston. The launch which has been likened to a theatrical production, was already set the tone for this year’s proceedings under the Fun In The Son banner.
This year’s Best Dressed Fun In The Son marks a return to the event’s activities in previous years. The concert was originally a week long Christian Spring Break celebration for college students and young adults from across the world in Ocho Rios. However, in recent years, the event became a one day event, mainly focusing on the concert. This year, however, the concert will again be expanded to become a four day series of events/festial. Among the activities planned beginning on Thursday, March 17 are: a Word and Worship session, A Gospel Jazz Night and the grand culmination – the grand concert on Saturday, March 19 – all of which take place in St. Andrew.
Over the years the concert’s lineup has included: Alvin Slaughter, TobyMac, Out of Eden, Trin-I-Tee 5:7, Mary Mary, Nicole C. Mullen, Hezekiah Walker and more. Headlining this year’s event will be one of gospel music’s biggest international entertainer’s, Tye Tribbett, who is known for his dynamic and upbeat tracks, Fresh, Keep Me, Stand Out, He Has Made Me Glad and more. In addition, he is joined by the ranks of reggae/dancehall gospel heavy-hitter, Papa San, the inspirational Carlene Davis, the energetic Prodigal Son, the uplifting Kevin Downswell and more. You don’t want to miss the ‘Premier Christian Festival in the Caribbean’…come and be blessed!
