Experience the show:

• One of the standout shows of the carnival season.
• Costumes here are massive — think frames extending several feet, steel-wire construction, wheels in some cases — designed to make a big visual impact on stage and in the parade.
• Each major band selects both a king and a queen masquerade whose costumes represent the band’s theme, folklore, culture or fantasy. Judges score on creativity, costume design, portrayal of theme, and presentation.
• It’s a major highlight of the parade week and draws large crowds.
• For visitors, witnessing this event gives insight into the craftsmanship, artistry and cultural storytelling behind Carnival bands.
• The winners of King & Queen of the Bands become part of the visual identity of that year’s carnival and often lead the bands during the main parades.
