This year Kayak Mas celebrates its long standing tradition Shakespeare Mas. If you’ve never experienced it before, you’re in for a colourful display of masqueraders adorned with vibrant costumes complete with a petticoat, long stockings and masks reciting Shakespeare lines. The most exciting part is when the standoff starts and they raise their whips for a whopping when their opponent stumbles on their Shakespeare recitals.
