Mas Bands are the heart and soul of carnival parades.

Short for Masquerader Band, Mas Bands are a creation of international designers and local Carnival Producers that form the cornerstone of any Carnival.

Artist Creations in costumes deliver a narrative to the heart and soul of carnival, lending relevance, design and story-telling to the phenomenon, along with music and community engagement. The final product is a work of art in motion, delivered through a human interactive experience.

These groups of parade-goers dance and ‘jump up’ in the parade together along with music loudly accompanying from a Live Music Truck moving along with the mas band.

Sometimes in one band, there may be up to thirty different types of Sections and more than three music trucks in a really large band. If you want to be part of the parade you can’t just show up in a beautiful costume of your choosing, you must pay to be part of the theme and the masquerade.
