The Atlantis Casino is the latest company to partner with the St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation (SCDF) by sponsoring all three bands that will be taking part in the Unity Jump-Up Saturday.
The longest of the five jump-up slated for the Carnival season, the Unity Jump-Up will start at the border monument in Cole Bay/Bellevue at 8:00pm, make its way down Union Road, over AJC Brouwer Road (Cole Bay Hill), Bush Road, Walter Nisbeth Road (Pondfill) and end at the Festival Village.
Band participating will be 4M Band, No Limit Band and Official Band. President of the SCDF Stuart Johnson thanked Atlantis Casino for its financial contribution towards Carnival and the Unity Jump-Up in particular.
"Atlantis has been a dependable corporate sponsor of Carnival for years. We are happy that they are on board once again as a partner in our fete. We are also looking forward to a fun-filled and safe jump-up on Saturday night, the first pre-event of the Carnival season," he said.
After the Unity Jump-Up, carnival lovers can look forward to the Fete to Fitness around Town Jump-Up on Saturday, March 26, the opening of Carnival jump-up on April 25, Jouvert Morning Jump-Up on April 29 and the Closing Jump-Up on May 3.
