Yard Mas kicked off Carnival 2026 with a hybrid Galleria costume presentation on Sunday at Palace Cineplex, Sovereign Centre, Kingston. The event showcased eight costumes—seven full looks and one Monday wear—designed by creators from Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados. Inspired by famous works of art, the collection turns iconic paintings into wearable designs for the road. With complimentary popcorn and drinks in hand, specially invited guests came out to see the release up close and personal. Something Extra has the social highlights.
