The Leos Vs Virgo, a popular astrology-themed party, returns for its fourth edition on August 24 at New Haven Boathouse in New Haven, Connecticut.

Richi Porter, a Jamaican based in the tri-state area, is promoter for the event which features Teejay and Charly Blacks as live acts. He told Observer Online that Leos Vs Virgo is aimed at a mature audience.

Porter explained the show’s astrological concept.

“It came from me and my best friend who is a Virgo. It’s like a friendly male versus female friendship thing. Dem swear dem ah di life of di party more than di Leo dem, so we came up with di idea of, ‘let’s keep an event an’ see who roll out more,” he said.

At the previous Leos Vs Virgo, performers included Serani, and American rappers Jim Jones, Benny Da Butcher and Aisha Hall.

Porter is also looking to attract more Jamaicans to the New Haven Boathouse.

“I’m just doing things a little differently because di venue is not a popular one for Jamaicans,” he said.
