If you want one experience that packs a full punch, this event offers a journey into cultural history and the origins of mas. Produced by the Department of Creative and Festival Arts at the University of the West Indies, the venue’s architectural style is as reminiscent of long ago as is their masquerade. Witness portrayals of Carnival characters including Bats, Minstrels and Burrokeets, Midnight Robber and Dame Lorraine. The event is kid- and budget-friendly, at US$8 for adults and US$5 for children.
