You do not need to be in Trinidad to register

Every Take Off 2027 costume is sold online. You choose your section and tier in the store, pay the deposit by debit or credit card from anywhere, and the costume is held for you. The in-person Mas Camp option at checkout is only for people already in Trinidad; if you are overseas, pick Partial.ly or pay in full by card and ignore it.

Prices are shown in TTD and USD. Switch the store to USD at the top of the page so the figures match your card statement. Shop Take Off 2027 costumes.

Wondering who is making the costume you are buying from four thousand miles away? Every Showtime costume is built in Trinidad at our own mas camp, by local wire-benders, seamstresses and decorators. Read our story.

What it costs in US dollars

Costume prices below exclude the 6% service fee; the plan examples include it. The USD-first version of the cost chapter table. USD figures use the store’s 6.7 rate, rounded; the store always has the current price for the exact tier you want.

Your costume price covers both road days: meals, premium bar, security, music trucks, paramedics and restrooms. Flights, hotel and fetes are separate. See what’s included.

How the monthly plan works

1. Choose your costume and select Partial.ly at checkout.
2. Pay the USD 119.40 deposit today by card. Your section spot is held from this moment.
3. Partial.ly splits the balance into equal monthly payments charged to the same card, ending by December 31, 2026. The earlier you register, the more months you have and the smaller each payment.
4. When the last payment clears, your QR boarding pass is emailed automatically.

Pay in full any time; there is no fee for finishing early. All payments are final and non-refundable; missing the 1 January deadline forfeits the deposit and the costume allocation. The full wording is in the Registration & Refund Policy.

Book in this order

1. Costume first. Sections are capped and filled first-paid; Platinum and Diamond go first. Check current availability before you book travel.
2. Flights. Aim to land by Saturday 6 February at the latest so you can collect your costume and rest. Fares climb every week from November.
3. Somewhere to stay in or near Port of Spain. Woodbrook, St James, Maraval and the city centre are the usual picks for masqueraders; see getting to Trinidad.
4. Fetes and J’ouvert, if you want them. They sell out, but you do not need any of them to play mas.

When you land

• Collection: your costume is boxed and waiting at Mas Camp, 51 French Street, Port of Spain (Tue–Fri 2:30–7:00 PM, Sat 1:00–7:00 PM; February collection dates are emailed per section in January). Bring your passport and the QR boarding pass.
• Sizing: choose carefully with the sizing guide before you order. If anything needs to change afterwards, message the team on WhatsApp or email as soon as you know, before cutting starts: costumes are forecast and cut by size, so an early heads-up avoids wasted material and gives the best chance of a change.
• The road: meeting point, times and what to bring are in the Monday vs Tuesday and what to pack chapters.

Coming with a group?

Register everyone in one checkout (one masquerader name per costume) or have each person register on their own card. Either way, ask the team on WhatsApp about Link-Up: every friend you register with your Link-Up code earns rewards, from a Premium Swag Bag to a trip for two to Miami or Barbados — see how Link-Up works.
