Shakespeare Mas’ is a masquerade that takes place during Carnival in Grenada. Masqueraders from surrounding villages gather in the town of Hillsborough to compete in the recitation of speeches from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, with their communities cheering them on. Although traditionally passed down from fathers to sons, women and girls now participate as well. This community-led event is an important component of Carriacou culture and of the island’s identity, uniting people in support of their village’s masqueraders and the celebration of a shared cultural heritage.
