The countdown to the Crop Over Festival kicked off in spectacular style yesterday with Aura Experience first out the blocks with its first-ever band launch at sea.
Masqueraders, sponsors, and invited guests boarded the MV Dreamchaser 2 for the reveal of Aura’s 2026 presentation, under the theme Enter the Multiverse. The launch, blending entertainment, fashion, and ocean views, celebrated Aura’s tenth year on the road for Grand Kadooment.
Aura’s general manager, Rondell Jones, explained: “This is the first physical band launch since 2019, marking our tenth year. We wanted something exciting and memorable.
“Launching early gives revellers time to pay for their costumes through instalment plans, easing financial pressure.” ( TRY)
