Hookie Weekend: Epic experiences in US for festival lovers

Caribbean culture was on full display during the line-up of exciting events at the Hookie Weekend in the United States. The Hookie Life Entertainment team once again delivered another successful execution of its beloved, annual summertime staple Juneteenth Weekend.

This event attracted thousands of festival lovers to the Washington DC metropolitan region for full a weekend of unmatched revelry. With 6 major events over the span of 5 days, the 2022 edition created memorable moments for its patrons complete with the very best of authentic West Indian entertainment.

Following the epic Thursday night kick-off event “Release Therapy” at the Ivy City Smokehouse which featured a dynamic performance by US Virgin Islands Soca star Adam O, attendees from various US and Canadian cities and Caribbean islands converged at the venue, Gateway DC for the Hookie Weekend Friday afternoon fixture known as “Hookie DC”.

Why Tobago is the place to visit for your much-needed relaxation

For this event which is regarded as the ultimate premium Caribbean pool party, the organising team transformed Gateway DC into “vibes central” with a relaxing pool, VIP cabanas, a variety of games to go along with the “Arcade” theme and several cross-cultural food stalls and bars which were strategically located around the venue.

Hookie Weekend left fans wanting more

Adding to Hookie DC’s allure were energetic sets by top international DJs and performances from T&T’s Kes The Band and Voice, Grenada’s Mr Killa and Jamaica’s Kranium. Lion’s Pride J’ouvert gave attendees the chance to embrace uninhibited freedom with paint and powder.
