From the premier Miami Carnival band, GenX Carnival, comes Jamaica’s first Ultra-Premium Band, GenXS Carnival. Having established our place ahead of the pack in Miami, we strive to innovate and grow our Brand globally and what better place to start than home? The place where we all first experienced and fell in love with Carnival. Thus, GenXS Jamaica was born! GenXS is built on the same philosophies of its sister company, embodying its dedication to the intricacies and nuances of Carnival production to effectively combine superior costumes with exceptional service. Our goal is to revive forgotten traditions and launch revolutionary attractions, always with the Masquerader Xperience at the forefront of our minds. GenXS stands firmly on the foundation set by its Miami counterpart, proudly embracing a multiplicity of religious and political beliefs, age groups, ethnicities, educational backgrounds, socioeconomic realities, sexual orientations, and geographic locations. With this new venture, we will champion the GenX mission of taking the Carnival we know and love to the world!
