The story

Kayak Mas Band Parade and Last Mas in Carriacou

Band Parade and Last Mas closes Carriacou's carnival week with the island's own costumed street parade, mirroring mainland Grenada's Parade of the Bands but scaled to Carriacou's smaller mas bands and community groups. Falling on the same day as the island's distinctive Shakespeare Mas tradition, it marks the definitive end of the carnival season until the following year's cycle begins.

Band Parade and Last Mas closes Carriacou's carnival week with the island's own version of the costumed street parade that mirrors mainland Grenada's Parade of the Bands, giving Carriacou's carnival a comparable closing spectacle scaled to the smaller island's own mas bands and community groups.

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

Sharing its closing date with Carriacou's uniquely local Shakespeare Mas tradition gives this day one of the densest and most varied single-day programmes in the island's carnival calendar, combining a costumed street parade with a masquerade custom found nowhere else in the Caribbean

The mystery stays covered

As Last Mas, the parade functions as the definitive close of the competitive carnival season, distinct in scale and specific participating bands from the much larger Parade of the Bands held on Grenada's mainland the following week
