Washington, DC (Sonique Solutions) – The metropolitan region known as the DMV (Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia) will feel the energy of Hookie Weekend from June 16th to 20th 2022. The weekend-long extravaganza produced by Hookie Life Entertainment will feature a full Caribbean Carnival-style experience and adding to this buffet of events are every festival lover’s favourite elements i.e. J’ouvert and Mas.

This upcoming  ‘Juneteenth weekend’, a wide range of Hookie Weekend attendees will enjoy and exercise the freedom associated with Carnival celebrations and have the opportunity to express themselves through the weekend’s famous ‘dutty’ and ‘pretty’ mas events.

Attendees can participate by wearing old costumes from previous international carnivals, ‘Monday Wear’ or their own mas designs.

On Saturday June 18th, the famous Hookie Weekend early morning tradition, ‘Lion’s Pride J’ouvert’ takes place from 7AM at the Rosecroft Raceway.

Regarded as the best J’ouvert event in the DMV, Lion’s Pride offers an authentic West Indian experience complete with branded t-shirts & swag packages for registrants who excitedly revel in paint and powder to powerful music blasting from a big truck. 

‘Riddim & Road’ takes place on June 19th from 2PM as part of the Hookie Weekend 2022 festivities.
