About Us
Founded in 2013, Candy Mas brings the fun, the colour, and the festivities of the "Holi" or "Phagwa" festival from Trinidad to the UK. The use of colourful paints or POWDER, known in the UK as "Dutty Mas", is a fun yet controversial way to play mas.
-
Phagwa with its origins in ancient Hindu culture has been celebrated for 100's of years and has now become an integral part of the way we play mas in the UK.
-
Carnival is a celebration of the colours, energy, and vibrancy of our culture. So we express that by filling the air and covering each other with bright colours.

I love how there is always something for everyone! Some of the costumes I wouldn't be brave enough to wear yet, even though I know it would be made in whatever size I wanted. There are lots of styles that are more inclusive than other bands i have seen... @kerriecurvemodel
