DAY IN THE LIFE AS AN EAST COAST LIMER!

The journey of an East Coast Limer starts long before the first truck pulls out. It's in the laughter during prep, the bonding with strangers who quickly become family, and the shared excitement as the band comes alive. Playing mas with East Coast Limers means embracing the full Carnival experience.
