Minister of State in the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Delano Seiveright, says Caymanas Park has tremendous potential as a major sports, entertainment and commercial hub, creating significant opportunities for Portmore and surrounding areas.

Speaking at Monday’s launch of Masicka’s Forever 1NE Music Festival, Seiveright highlighted the venue’s extensive grounds, strategic location and convenient toll-road connectivity.

“Caymanas Park is exceptionally well positioned to serve Portmore, Kingston, Spanish Town and patrons travelling from other parishes. Its further development as a major entertainment complex could be game-changing for Portmore’s commercial landscape,” Seiveright said.

The potential is underscored by previously reported plans from Supreme Ventures Limited, which operates Caymanas Park through its subsidiary, for a US$100-million investment over a period of time, including a hotel, commercial facilities and entertainment infrastructure.

Seiveright emphasised that major events generate economic activity beyond ticket sales, benefiting restaurants, vendors, transport operators, production crews, retailers and other small businesses.

“Music is culture, but music is also commerce. These events create jobs, stimulate spending and attract investment,” he noted.

He highlighted Portmore’s population exceeding 200,000 and proposed parish status as factors strengthening its investment potential.

Culture and Entertainment Minister Olivia “Babsy” Grange and MP Alando Terrelonge also addressed the launch, welcoming the festival and its location.

Seiveright congratulated Masicka, a fellow Calabar High School past student, on his international success and professionalism.

The festival is scheduled for December 19 at Caymanas Park.
