The UWI’s Department of Creative and Festival Arts presents our annual carnival showcase, “The Old Yard” on Sunday 8th February 2015, at noon. Situated in the Gayelle at DCFA, Agostini Street, St. Augustine - an actual yard - complete with an architectural style reminiscent of long ago, this event promises to offer a dynamic mix of a journey into cultural history and a carnival masquerade showcase within the format of a heritage fair. 

Witness portrayals of our very own traditional Carnival characters including Bats, Minstrels and Burrokeets, Midnight Robber, Dame Lorraine among others. A special feature of this year’s installment of The Old Yard will be the “Mas Camp Corner”, where children will be given the opportunity to create their own mas and be part of our jump-up for a small fee.
