⏰ Check back for information soon

This year we will join E.P.I.C. Carnival in the Grand Parade on Saturday, August 2. E.P.I.C. Carnival is a dynamic and passionate medium-sized mas band that brings the best of Carnival to life! In 2025, they’ll bring Energy, Passion, Imagination & Culture to the forefront. With the 2025 theme of “Culture”, E.P.I.C. aims to honour ancestors, celebrate traditions, and ignite excitement for future generations through stunning art, lively music, and powerful dance.

Join us in costume!

ONA has secured a number of costumes in the Legacy section and is looking for members to proudly wear them in the parade. We will randomly select 40 members to receive a costume. To ensure costumes can be produced in time, we need to confirm parade participants as soon as possible.

Please complete the interest form for a chance to win a fabulous carnival costume from E.P.I.C. Carnival and be part of one of North America’s biggest cultural events. The deadline to enter is Wednesday, June 4, 2025.
