The introduction of a ‘Recovery Station’ and a ‘Hair and Makeup Touch-Up Station’ will be part of the new experiences for this year’s Rize & Whine event staging (Infinite Ent. 767).
This was according to Stephen Lander of the Rize N Whine Organizing Committee, who was making remarks at the Dominica Festivals Committee (DFC) weekly press conference on Wednesday.
The event, which will be held at the Botanical Gardens on Sunday, October 23, from 03:00, is part of the side events before the staging of the World Creole Music Festival (WCMF) scheduled for October 28-30, 2022. These special events encourage visitors to experience Dominica’s independence season and the island’s various entertainment and cultural attractions.
“Every year we always try to do something new and exciting, so one of our new experiences we will introduce and we are aware that the ladies take a lot of time and put a lot of effort into preparing to come to this party, ladies we’ll have an absolutely free hair and makeup touch-up station for you,” Lander said. “So you spend a lot of time putting it together and we’ll help you keep it together while you’re partying.”
He continued, “And Rize & Whine is a very wholesome experience, I know people soak in a good time. It starts at 3 o’clock in the morning, [so] you might be a little tired, some people party even before they come to Rize & Whine, so guess what we got? We have a recovery station, so if you’re feeling a little down or feel like you need a little break or a recovery, check out our recovery station.”
Lander added, “We’ll have some vitamins in there to get you revved up and ready to party again.”
He said that this year customers will be given an experience they will remember for a long time.
Lander noted that performances will come from several local and regional artists.
Adam O will be the main soca artist. Other artists include Travis World and Major Penny, a DJ duo from Trinidad & Tobago, TK Combo and Ryan Sayeed who is a Caribbean native based in Miami.
Other DJs will include the Legendary DJ Cut, DJ Snow, DJ Spawner, Major Mystic and the unstoppable DJ
The event will be hosted by Patrick Anthony, ‘Hypeman’.
Tickets are $150 and can be purchased at Depex Color Lab or from any of Infinite Ent. 767 team members.
