Commenting on this year’s event,
JAMBANA™ co-founder,

said, “The event was a tremendous
success, we had 25,000 individuals
participating the last time we did the
event in Brampton, this year 2009, we had over 40,000.
We are just so thankful for the support
from our sponsors, the vendors, the
other participants, and all the people
who attended. The vibes were great. We
can only get bigger and better, and we
have already started plans for next
year’s JAMBANA™ on
Monday August 2, 2010 at
Downsview
Park”.

JAMBANA™
is an exciting networking, socializing,
and “fun for the whole family” cultural
festival. The 2010
event is produced by Jones & Jones Productions Ltd. (www.jonesandjones.ca),
producers of the successful Air Jamaica Day which saw significant
growth from 1,000 in 2005 to 10,000 in 2006 and 25,000 in 2007
in Ontario, Canada. This year, on August 3, 2009,
JAMBANA™
attracted over 40,000 individuals.

JAMBANA™ continues to demonstrate
Canada’s cultural mosaic in its
finest form, through performances by internationally acclaimed
reggae bands and JUNO Award winners. The
rhythms of Jazz and Gospel, Dance, Comedy, the “Lick-A-Six”
Domino Tournament and
quizzes on history and entertainment will be programmed over the
8 hour event.
|
| |
|
JAMBANA™
is staged on the same day as the previous
festival produced by Jones & Jones and will be
marketed and promoted in a similar format.
Additionally, this event will be marketed to a
broader audience.
The programming will be broadened to
include Jazz and Gospel. Other flavours of food will be added to
the festival along with the instillation of a
‘seated’ area with a nominal fee.
|
| |
|
It is anticipated, that as in the past years
events produced and marketed by Jones & Jones,
JAMBANA™
will be packed from start to finish with over
40,000 anticipated to attend. This will create the opportunity for
brisk sales by the vendors on location and
excellent marketing and branding opportunities
for sponsors.
