If you have never been to Atlanta-Dekalb carnival, you may be confused about how to get registered for a carnival costume (package).Â
Why do I say costume package? Because you are not getting just a costume, but an entire experience. Click this sentence to learn more.

I started playing mas in Altanta!
For that reason, Atlanta-Dekalb carnival holds a very special place in my heart. I have been playing mas since 2015 and make it a point to go back to where it all started for me.
