The clash between Foreday Morning Jam and a Tipsy event has been resolved with the latter being pushed back by a day.
The change was announced in a press release yesterday and Twisted Entertainment, producers of the Tipsy J’ouvert Party Experience, confirmed that the event will now take place on Sunday, August 2, from 3 a.m.
When it was revealed in March that the private fete was planned for the same time as the national jam, bandleaders called a meeting in which they agitated for it to be switched in order to protect the viability and cultural significance of the National Cultural Foundation coordinated event which has a large spectator participation.
Yesterday’s release stated that as planning and continued consultation with stakeholders progressed, the team made the “deliberate decision to move the event out of the Foreday Morning window in order to preserve the integrity of one of Barbados’ most important cultural traditions.
“The adjustment reflects the natural evolution of the 2026 Crop Over calendar, ensuring that Foreday Morning continues to hold its dedicated space within the festival while also allowing for the introduction of Tipsy J’ouvert as a distinct and complementary experience within the season,” it added.
Twisted said that from the beginning, its intention “has always been to celebrate j’ouvert culture, not compete with it”.
“As the event evolved, it became clear that the right move was to create space for Foreday Morning to stand on its own, while positioning Tipsy J’ouvert as a complementary experience within the Crop Over season,” the release quoting a spokesman from the entertainment group said.
All previously sold tickets remain valid for the new date.
