Mas Bands

The Core of our Celebration.

Band of The Year

Art Meets Rhythm

The main attraction of our dawn ’til dusk festival is the Parade of Bands Competition. Carnival goers line the streets to cheer on the mas bands as they compete to claim the title of “Windy City Carnival Midwest Band of the Year”. This is the highest and most coveted honor that can be earned at Windy City Carnival. Though bragging rights are high currency, the grand prize money takes the fun to a whole new level.

1st Place $2500

2nd Place $1000

3rd Place $500
