Real Mas 2024 - Get Ready to Slay 😎 Year 16...It's Always Mas with Real Mas!!! Thomas Carnival. It's Going to be Mas...Real Mas!!!

Real Mas is proud to be established as one of the most innovative carnival troupes in the Virgin Islands since 2008. With homegrown designs and production, Real Mas' team is not afraid to step out of the box and push the envelope in costuming. Each year, Real Mas strives to raise the bar in costume production and the overall carnival experience for its masqueraders. A “small troupe size with a big

troupe vibe”, one of Real Mas’ commitments is to offer an environment of familiarity, comfort and diversity along with the Ultimate Carnival Experience. In our 14 years, Real Mas has covered so much ground in costuming, over a myriad of themes and creative concepts. And although we've been yearning that full pre-covid road experience, it was definitely a pleasure going back into our creative space to costume the poster for the 70th Anniversary of St. And as we dusted off our costume treasure chest, we couldn't just stop at the poster costume...

Stay tuned for our 2022 Commerative Edition!

Speaking about fire, Purafire for the win 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you for making the trip from STX to play mas with us. Real Mas is very literal in our theme presentations and you took our dragons over the top with your fire performance - cause what's a dragon without 🔥 Much love to the group!!!

Thought to be forever banished to the distant caves of St. Thomas, the pulsating rhythm of Carnival awakens the powerful creatures that dwell within. As you make your way through the magical realms of carnival, immersing yourself in the vibrant festivities and exhilarating revelry, beware the behemoth of scales, flames and tails, as Real Mas presents, Dragon Tales and Bacchanal: A VI Folklore. Let the adventures begin!
