Time Out says

The August bank holiday is traditionally given over to a crowd partying along to Europe's biggest celebration of music, movement and masquerade, featuring the spectacle of floats, the music of steel bands, reggae and a plethora of sound systems along the three-mile route. Sunday is Children's Day, with an emphasis on families and younger festival goers.

So where is the info on the mas bands? All the best pics are of the fabulous costumes, yet Time Out has no info on who the bands are, history of each band, themes for this parade etc. Shame on you Time Out!
