Before there was pretty mas there was old mas and The UWI St. Augustine is doing its part to keep the tradition alive with its annual traditional masquerade heritage fair. A highly anticipated staple on the annual UWI Carnival calendar, The Old Yard is hosted by DCFA at its Agostini Street, St. Augustine, Gayelle – an actual yard with architecture reminiscent of years past, the event promises a dynamic experience highlighting cultural history and featuring a carnival masquerade show.
The Old Yard is strategically designed to be a true educational experience and its 2017 edition will feature an exhibition of its previous instalments. “A Look Back at The Old Yard' will showcase a number of traditional mas artifacts, photos and audio-visual presentations that have been part of The Old Yard since its inception. And as usual in the gayelle, patrons will also witness portrayals of traditional Carnival characters including Bats, Minstrels and Burrokeets, Midnight Robber and Dame Lorraine.
