The team behind Soca Sangria is expressing heartfelt gratitude following the phenomenal success of this year’s edition of the much-anticipated event.
Organizers from The Marketing Machine extended sincere thanks to the thousands of patrons who embraced the concept and helped bring to life an experience unlike anything seen before.
“We set out to create something different, something out of the box, and the response from our audience has been nothing short of amazing,” said Chalita Rose, Chief Executive Officer of The Marketing Machine. “To see so many people believe in our vision and show up with that same energy reminds us why we do what we do.”
Special recognition was given to the hardworking Team Machine, whose dedication, long hours, and attention to detail ensured the event’s seamless execution.
“Our team poured everything into making Soca Sangria 2025 a success,” noted Kayla Matthew-Ward, Business Manager. “From creative planning to production and on-site management, it was a true team effort, and we’re deeply proud of the professionalism and passion shown by everyone involved.”
Organizers also extended appreciation to the entertainers, hosts, and production partners who delivered world-class performances, lighting, and sound that transformed Coolidge Cricket Grounds into the ultimate fete experience.
Key partners A.S. Bryden & Sons, ACB Caribbean, Hadeed Motors, Caribbean Premium Motors, State Insurance Company Limited, ABS TV, Flava FM, and LIAT Air were recognized for their belief in the vision and their collaborative spirit that helped elevate the Soca Sangria brand beyond the stage.

The Marketing Machine also extended gratitude to all vendors, service providers, and food partners whose contributions added to the vibrant atmosphere that patrons enjoyed throughout the night.
Looking ahead, the team is already in the planning stages for the 2026 installment of Soca Sangria, following a full post-event review to identify areas for improvement and expansion.
“We have big plans for the Soca Sangria brand,” added Chalita Rose. “It’s more than just a fete, it’s an evolving experience that blends entertainment, culture, and creativity in a way that keeps patrons coming back for more.”
“With gratitude to everyone involved, our sponsors, entertainers, and especially our patrons, thank you for making Soca Sangria 2025 truly Pure Sweetness,” said Chalita Rose.

Next week she go send letter saying how things rough in ah anteeeega.
“thing rough”…….UNTIL FETE TIME comes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s amazing that Trinidads carnival is upon us once again and it’s like their top Soca stars worked nonstop, making money across the region and world, while our artists money making ended immediately after our carnival. Give thanks to MP Matthew’s for at least given them some international exposure.
A TnT road march that’s still mashing up the place, while our road march is no way to be found, we just witnessed an independence calypso competition, that if it was allowed, Short Shirt “Pledge” could’ve retained the title, yet our radio and tv commentators kept applauding nonsense.
I just want one Big tune from anyone that will have TnT rocking and instead of us paying them to come here, they in turn have to pay our artists to headline their fete.
As a poor man goes to church and gives his last dollar, so too are the fete goers. No food, can’t pay rent but somehow they are first in line.
@CARVAA What artist should be waiting for a political figure to push their career, that is why they have managers.(rest his soul) but did Drue wait for a politician to push his career no. Do Flames wait for a politician to push the abundance of years of success and accomplishments they made no and we can mention King Short Shirt, and many other who got on a plane and push their own careers. Smh beggars will always suffer at the hands of those who control their destiny. Tell dem artists in Antigua to pick better management and PR to push their tunes. You know how often I sit on YOUTUBE trying to find new 2026 Antigua SOCA and still see music from 2024 and one or two 2025. Antiguan SOCA artists wait until it’s two weeks before Carnival to put out songs. They should no longer wait on radio stations to put out their music when there is Youtube, where you can upload your music and perform at small venues at home. Some people don’t have real motivation and some do.
