With just a mere 5 days left until Xodus Carnival takes over the streets of Kingston with its ‘Mas Couture’ themed costume parade, the band and its group of designers from MasCreate Studios has been working tirelessly, following the band launch in October, to adequately meet the demand from masqueraders.
As it comes down to the wire, masqueraders will finally get the chance to feel and fit their costumes, as Xodus begins its distribution process at the Pegasus Hotel Ballroom.
Xodus’ costume distribution commences on April 2, 2024 from 12pm-6:30pm with the Art Deco, Disco, Gothic, Hollywood Glam and Pop costumes up for distribution first. The following day, April 3rd, masqueraders who registered for the Boho, Cyber Punk, Rave, Regency and Victorian costumes are advised to arrange for the collection of their packages. Lastly, Thursday, April 4th, the remaining costumes: Flower Power, Hippie and Roaring 20s will be available for distribution.
Pierre Goubault, CEO of Xodus Carnival urges masqueraders to keenly follow the schedule to ensure a smooth dissemination process.
“We strongly advise our masqueraders to collect their costumes on the day it is scheduled for. In the event they are unable to, they can arrange to collect them on the open schedule days of April 5 & 6, or any day after the one that their costume is scheduled for. Costume distribution is always busy, therefore we want this process to be as smooth and quick as it can possibly be,” he explains.
Revellers must have a valid form of identification bearing their names exactly as it is on their order, as well as a copy of their order receipt. Xodus wishes to note that all costumes must be fully paid for in order for them to be collected. Tshirt packages will also be available for collection everyday from April 2nd through to 6th.
“Both Envy and Xodus t-shirt packages can be collected throughout the entire week. We’ve also made provision for revellers who won’t be available to pick up their costumes on the designated days. They can assign an authorized collector to pick up their packages by logging on to their account on MaSOs at xodus.masos.app and selecting the ‘Authorized Collector’ option from the menu bar. Naturally, this person is required to take along their valid id and a copy of the masqeurader’s order receipt to facilitate the collection,” Goubault concluded.
Xodus Carnival wishes to advise that all unclaimed costumes and tshirt packages by April 6th at 12 noon will result in the item(s) becoming available for resale.
