1. Play mas with a band

Mas bands are the heart of the parade. Each one brings its own costumes, music and energy. Explore the mas bands to find the one that fits you.

2. Bring your business to the marketplace

The official marketplace puts food, crafts, fashion and cultural products in front of thousands of visitors. Learn about becoming a vendor.

3. Volunteer

Volunteers help create a safe, welcoming Carnival for everyone, and gain experience and friendships along the way. Apply to volunteer.

4. Tell the story as media

Photographers, videographers, writers and creators with a genuine interest in Carnival and Caribbean culture can apply for official media accreditation. Accreditation is limited each season, so check the Media Pass page for the current application status.
