About Us

Greetings and welcome to the Real Mas Carnival Troupe website!

As our fourth year steadily approaches, Real Mas Carnival Troupe has something very special planned for 2012. St. Thomas’ 60th Carnival Celebration would not be complete without Real Mas’ celebration presentation.

Real Mas Carnival Troupe has undoubtedly raised the bar on costume production in the Virgin Islands and the entire carnival experience for its members. Real Mas debuted and ushered in a refreshing air with The Elements of Life in 2009. But it is My Kind Ah Fete in 2010 that sealed the deal — labeling Real Mas as one of the most innovative, standout carnival troupes on St. Thomas. Our 2011 presentation of BLAZE was nothing short of EXTREME HOTNESS — earning us the title of WINNER in the 50-100 troupe category. And for 2012, we guarantee satisfaction of your palettes!

Real Mas Carnival Troupe is one of few that can boast exclusiveness in costume production. All costumes are designed by Simone Edwards, founder of Real Mas. Her awesome production team is a group of young locals who share her vision for quality and detail and are not afraid to push the envelope.

So stay tuned for Real Mas updates! It’s a Celebration for the World to See…St. Thomas’ 60th Carnival Anniversary!

It’s going to be Mas…REAL MAS!!!
