What is a Mas Band?

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.
