Hello to all of our first-time Carnival Babies 👋🏿 So you want to play mas at Toronto Carnival (formerly known as Caribana), but you’re unsure of how or where to begin? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. In this post, we’ll discuss how easy it is to register to play mas at the 2023 Caribana parade.

We (Sunlime Mas) will be releasing our costume lineup for this year’s Toronto Carnival Parade on April 2nd. If you’re a GTA local you’re invited to attend our Costume Showcase (Band Launch) in person at the Ontario Science Centre. For our out-of-towners, we recommend pre-registering online to secure your spot, and for first access to our costumes once they have been released. It’s best to follow us on Instagram for the most up-to-date information on when registration opens up, and more.

2. Once our costumes have been released, registration opens up on our website sunlime.ca. At this point, you will have the ability to select the costume and section you’d like to play mas in. You will be required to pay a deposit (or the full amount depending on your preference). Once your costume has been purchased you will be considered registered.
