WEEKEND PICK: Bacchanal Rum for Breakfast at Hope Zoo

Bacchanal Jamaica returns this carnival season with its ultra inclusive breakfast party, Rum For Breakfast, one of the most anticipated mixes of soca music and mouth-watering menus to awaken the senses. The party is scheduled for Saturday, March 30.

"Rum for Breakfast was a hit last year, and our patrons are waiting impatiently for what they consider an eclectic carnival experience," said Nicholas Franklin, Bacchanal Jamaica's junior director.

He added, "The early-morning ambience at the Hope Zoo as day breaks is awesome matched with the music, food and liquor. Patrons can expect a menu that is chock-full of tasty dishes, including Jamaica's national dish of ackee and saltfish, as well as stewed chicken, sausage and beans, tuna canapes, continental breakfast options, [and] various soups and sides. Let's not leave out the array of pastries and fruit kebabs soaked with spirits - that's a first pick for many."

The event begins at 5 a.m. and continues until noon. Franklin is urging persons to get presold tickets for $9,000 at the Bacchanal base at Mas Camp, Pita Grill and Ammar's.

Music selection will be provided by Trinidad's Patrick the Hypeman, Kevin Crown from out of New York and Jamaica's Tyler Chung and DJ Cruise.
