Frequently Asked Questions

When do Vibe Mas costumes usually go on sale?

We launched our 2025 theme, Lost Cities, in April. Costumes will go on sale on Wednesday, April 23rd. Stay tuned to our social media for additional updates and details.

How do I know if Vibe Mas is the band for me?

At Vibe Mas, patrons consistently praise us for our customer service, costume selection, high energy, road experience, and value-for-price. If these are things you find important, we may be the right choice for you!

What’s the difference between Frontline, Midline, and Backline costumes, and how do I choose the best one?

Neither option is better than the other. Each option brings its own vibe and flair! It all depends on your style preference and budget. Our frontline costumes are usually the most elaborate, with bold featherwork and dramatic designs—perfect if you love to stand out. Given the elaborate detailing in the costuming, these options are on the higher end of our price spectrum. Our midline costumes balance beautiful detailing with comfort, with a slightly scaled-down design but still a striking look. Our backline is just as vibrant and eye-catching, with lighter designs that are great for dancing all day, budget-friendly, and still packed with vibes. Choose the one that fits your style, energy level, and comfort—you’ll shine on the road regardless of your chosen option!

What is included in my costume package?

Once you’ve paid for your costume and collected your package during distribution day, prepare to be wowed. Your Vibe Mas experience will include your chosen costume, your Vibe Mas wristband, which grants you access to our band on the road, complimentary Monday wear, and your goodie bag full of exclusive gifts from us and our sponsors. On the road, you’ll receive unlimited premium drinks, a snack on Carnival Monday, breakfast and lunch on Carnival Tuesday, access to our rest stop, an AC cool-down bus, a mobile restroom, and security. You’ll also be dancing non-stop to the tunes of our local and international DJs. If you wish, you may pay for additional add-ons such as upgraded Monday wear, additional costume pieces, or makeup services and stockings from one of our vendor partners.

Besides the experience on the road, what events does my Vibe Mas costume give me access to?

Besides unlimited access to VIBES on the road, being a masquerader with us means you get exclusive perks. You’ll receive a FREE ticket to the Vibe Mas welcome party – Sun, Sea and Soca on Carnival Friday. This event gives you a solid introduction to what to expect from us on the road – good music and lots of vibes. You’ll also receive a discount to purchase tickets for House Party S2 E4, Vibes with Voicey on Carnival Saturday and Raft Up (the Sun, Sea and Soca pre-party). You’ll be feting non-stop, without breaking the bank.

Are costumes available for men and plus-size masqueraders?

Yes! We have male options and will accommodate plus sizes, but registering early is important.

How do I get measured for my costume?

We do not measure each masquerader. Instead, our costumes follow US sizing. Please ensure the size you submit for your bra, pants, and/or t-shirts follows the US sizing chart. A quick Google search will show the standard dimensions for each size. Masqueraders are also encouraged to stick to their usual bra/panty and shirt/pants sizes, as all costumes are made true to size per order/customer.

Can I see the costumes in person before I choose?

We’ve photographed and videoed each costume with its full details, from every angle. While you won’t be able to see the costumes in person, rest assured that our multimedia footage of each costume is true to representation. Our customer service team will also be happy to answer all questions you have. If you’re unsure about sizing, it’s always best to order your usual US size.

What is the amount I need to pay to register?

We require a $200 USD deposit to secure your spot in the band. All extras, such as upgrades, substitutes, customization, and add-ons, require a minimum payment of 50% in addition to your registration deposit.

Do I need to pay in full, or can I do a payment plan?

You can pay your outstanding balance over time. However, we do have stipulated deadlines in which you must make a certain payment amount. 50% by 15 June 80% by 1 July 100% by 1 August If outstanding payments are not paid by the stipulated date, you will forfeit your costume and it will be reallocated.

When and where do I collect my costume?

Costume distribution usually starts a few days before Carnival Monday at True Blue Bay Resort in True Blue, St. George. Each costume section will have a specific day for pickup. The exact dates will be announced in August, so please look for details in your email and on social media.

I won’t be able to collect my costume. Can someone collect my costume on my behalf?

Yes. Someone can collect on your behalf once you authorize them to do so. Log in to the portal and follow instructions to authorize a person who will collect on your behalf. You’ll need to upload a copy of the person’s ID for security purposes.

What happens if my costume doesn’t fit or is missing pieces?

We will have a customer service station during each distribution day to handle alterations or missing parts. To ensure we can adjust as quickly as possible, it’s best to check your costume immediately upon collection. Also be sure to stick to your size when ordering costumes as all pieces are made true to size.

Do I need to be Grenadian to participate in Vibe Mas?

Nope! Vibe Mas is for everyone—locals and visitors worldwide are welcome to jump and play mas.

Is transportation included with the costume package?

Absolutely! We’ll have a shuttle service on both days, so you won’t need to worry about parking or finding transportation. The shuttle service will take you from a convenient location to the band meet-up spot. Pay close attention to our social media for information on the shuttle times and locations.

Can I play mas if I don’t have a costume?

You can attend the carnival, but you must be a registered masquerader with a wristband to jump in our band. We have an array of costume options to fit every budget.

What should I bring or wear under my costume?

We want you to have a good time on the road, but also to be safe and comfortable. Most masqueraders wear seamless underwear and/or carnival tights under their costumes for comfort. It’s best to wear sunscreen to protect yourself from the August sun. The Carnival route is over 4 miles long, so wear comfortable shoes on both days. Think comfort before aesthetics. Also, hydration is important, so you may consider bringing hydration packets in your bag.

Do you offer costume delivery?

We’ve partnered with a trusted concierge service – Valini – who offers safe and convenient costume delivery. If you’re interested in this service, add it to your cart on the portal during registration. The team will then contact you during distribution to get more information on your location and where you’d like your costume to be delivered.

Can I have a backline panty in a frontline section?

Unfortunately, no. The costumes are designed with a particular aesthetic. Therefore, if you decide to play in the frontline section, you will be limited to the panty design of that section. However, you have flexibility with the bra design. That is, you can opt for the backline bra, even if you play in the frontline section.

Can I register in-person?

Yes! We partnered with the team at Grenadian Optical to register patrons in-person. You can visit them at their branches in the Spiceisle Mall, Grand Anse and on Melville Street, St. George.
