Top reggae acts for Christmas show

Over the years, the name Mikey Sparkle has become synonymous with top-class entertainment events in the American state of Georgia.

The Jamaica-born promoter and entrepreneur, who received an Outstanding Citizen Award from the state last year, is one of the top promoters of Jamaican culture and music in the US, promoting several events annually through his Mikey Sparkle Productions company. He has also produced and staged several popular Jamaican roots plays featuring comedy legend Oliver Samuels.

"I love to provide good entertainment for people whether it's through my radio show on G97.9FM or the events I promote. I just love to see people enjoying themselves and having fun. That's my main motivation for putting on events," he said. The hard-working promoter is currently gearing up for the 12th staging of his annual Mikey Sparkle Christmas Party on December 18 at the Grand Palais Banquet Hall in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

The event, which is billed as an all-inclusive dinner and dance affair, will feature performances from reggae stars Mikey Spice and Anthony Malvo backed by the 3rd Degree Band.

"I credit the success of this party to the awesome entertainment package that we put together each year for our patrons. In addition to that, the food and refreshments and the decor along with everything else are always top notch. Once again, we've put together an exciting entertainment package for our patrons," said Sparkle.
