Last night the penultimate night at Puma Yard kicked off wiith the 4 x 100 m relay being shown on the giant screen. With Usain Bolt breaking the world record spirits were high and we delved into an evening of live performances from Professor Green and Clement Marfo and the Front line.

As a special surprise DJ Usain Bolt arrived later on in the night to show everyone that he can do other things apart from running really really really fast.

Stay tuned for news of tonights final Puma Yard party with Norman Jay and David Rodigan!

Puma Yard has been in operation for just over a week now and it’s served up some damn good parties. We went down last night for what we expected to be the party of the year as they celebrated Jamaica’s 50th Anniversary of Independance. Turns out we weren’t wrong.

The atmosphere was electric with carnival vibes… The pungent smell of burning meat filled the yard whilst inside the venue the track and field races were screened to the background of caribbean sounds. Later on we were treated to reggae legend Gyptian as well as a surprise performance from Shaggy

Other celebrities seen wandering included Cedlla Marley, Misha B, Alexandra Burke and Shingai Shoniwa…. to name a few.

Despite all the rum we drank it’ll definitely be a party to remember!

Here’s another not to be missed free party at the end of this month! Last year was completely roadblocked, and many said it was one of the best parties of 2011. This year they’ve moved to a slightly bigger location so hopefully not so long a wait to get in.

Have a look at this video to see what to look expect:
