Leh we play a mas? Why not! When the paint and powder are all cleaned off its time to reset and return to the road for mas, Riddim & Road style. With D.C. Carnival being sorely missed, the Hookie Life team decided 2017 was the year to bring the beauty of mas back to the Nation’s Capital, with a bit of a twist. Masqueraders came out in costumes from carnivals all around and in their own creations! Make no mistake mas is back in the DMV. Organize your crew, your costumes and join us on the road this year!

From the Hookielife website: If someone asked, “how would you describe Lion’s Pride J’Ouvert?” I would call it the perfect mixture. Like bake and shark, like curry and goat, Lion’s Pride J’Ouvert is the perfect mix. A mix of music from the big truck, of paint and powder in the air, of revelry, of organized chaos and pure VIBES. J’Ouvert, a word derived French patois, literally translating to day opener or day break is the perfect start to your Hookie Weekend Saturday after recovering from your Hookie D.C. experience. Your Pre-Registration package includes a T-Shirt, paint among a few other Hookie Life goodies. Join the Pride in 2018 for another unforgettable experience!
