About The Old Yard

The UWI DCFA’s Old Yard will be situated in the new Gayelle at DCFA, Gordon Street and transformed into the architectural style of a long lost era. This event offers 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.
