Mas Bands are one of the ‘five key arts’ of Notting Hill Carnival. Mas, short for ‘masquerade’! Get involved with Omnia, and you can dress in costumes (male and female), With or without feathers and headpieces; to dance through the parade route. Each costume brings an artistic narrative to the heart of carnival, and we encourage party & carnival-goers to join Omnia’s band and play Mas in 2025.
