It was a grand pardy on the road in St Andrew as the streets came to life for the Carnival in Jamaica Road March on Sunday. Bands Xodus, Gen XS and Yard Mas hit the pavement, chipping down their respective routes. Though the rain came amid the Utopia, the revellers stayed the course for carnival in Jamaica Land We Love until the warmth returned in the Kingdom of the Sun. Something Extra brings you the highlights.
