How do I “Play Mas?”
Can my friends and I form a group?
Can we dress however we please?
We strongly encourage everybody to come together with a group of friends, a civic or religious group, a sports team or their family for the parade.
There are absolutely no rules governing your costuming or participation in the parade apart from that you respect the safety protocols set out by the Providence Sound Session parade marshals.
You can create your own characters inspired by our theme, or simply dress all in one color. The Carnival is all about diversity, so come as you are, or better yet, as you wish you were!
I want to “Play Mas” with Black Rep.
When and how can I purchase a costume?
Black’s Mas Camp Managers and a team of designers work with Black Rep patrons and friends to take part in the organization’s Masquerade Camp.
Participants in Black Rep’s Mas Camp can pay between $25 and $50 for gorgeous costumes custom-designed by master Trinidadian Mas-maker, Terry Eveyln. They will be available for purchase in the Xxodus Café during Public Programs throughout the month of June.
