The Saint Lucia Carnival Bands Association will host the second Mas Market in the William Peter boulevard and Rodney Bay Village.

Following the successful hosting of the first ever Mas Market in 2014, the Saint Lucia Carnival Bands Association will host the event for a second year.

Mas Market will be held on Saturday, July 4, at the William Peter Boulevard, and on Saturday, July 11 on the Rodney Bay strip.

Mas Market will showcase carnival bands and portrayals of costumes from participating junior and adult bands. The Steel Bands Association will also stage a riveting steel pan clash, and both junior and senior local artistes will perform.

The public is invited to this free event where the opportunity will be given to sample free products, engage participating bands, and take advantage of discounted rates on costumes.
