Caymanas Park set to host Masicka show

Caymanas Park will host its biggest music event yet when dancehall star Masicka brings his Forever1NE Music Festival to the venue on Saturday, December 19. The event will mark the first time Masicka headlines his own festival in Portmore, the community that helped shape his musical journey.

Solomon Sharpe, executive chairman of Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Limited (SVREL), said the venue’s scale and flexibility made it well suited to hosting a festival of this size.

“Caymanas Park was built to handle moments like this,” said Sharpe. “We have the grounds, the infrastructure and the experience to stage a festival for thousands of patrons, and to do it safely and seamlessly.”

Forever1NE is being presented by Masicka and his 1Syde team, in partnership with Zimi Entertainment, with Magnum as title partner. Masicka will headline alongside special guests, with further details about the line-up and festival experience to be announced in the coming weeks.

The festival adds to Caymanas Park’s calendar of large-scale events. In the past year, the venue has hosted the Zimi Seh Brunch, the Mouttet Mile, World Cup tailgate watch parties through the JustBet Goal Rush campaign and the Supreme Ventures Foundation’s Junior Creators Robotics Camp, alongside its regular horse-racing programme.

Sharpe said Forever1NE also reflects Caymanas Park’s efforts to host events beyond horse racing.

“Masicka is coming home to Portmore, and Caymanas Park is proud to be the place that welcomes him,” Sharpe said. “This is what we mean when we say Caymanas Park is for everybody. Today it’s dancehall and tomorrow it could be football, fashion or family entertainment.”
