Mas Band Throws for the Toronto Caribbean Carnival
The Toronto Caribbean Carnival, long known as Caribana, fills Lakeshore Boulevard every summer with mas bands, feathers, steel pan, and one of the largest Caribbean street parades in North America. Custom beads and throws give a mas band, a section leader, or a community group a branded piece that ties a costume together and hands the crowd a keepsake. Printed with a band name, a section theme, or a sponsor, one strand carries your colors down the whole parade route.
Throws for the Road
Build a mix that fits your band and your section:
- Full color medallion beads printed with the band name, section, or sponsor logo.
- LED light up beads for the evening lead up events and after parties.
- Custom shape beads cut as a feather, a flag, or your band emblem.
- Custom medallion doubloons as section tokens and collector throws.
- Custom lanyards for band leaders, security, and backstage credentials.
Made in the USA, Planned Around Your Event
Our beads are designed and printed at our United States facility, where most custom orders are produced in 14 days or less. For a carnival in Toronto, we work with organizers on cross border shipping and lead time, so reach out early and we will map out the delivery date around your parade. Contact us before you order so we can confirm timing and shipping to Canada for your band.
Why Bands Print Their Own Throws
A generic strand blends into the road. A throw printed with your band name turns a costume into branding and gives spectators a keepsake they tie to your masqueraders. On a route this large, a branded medallion is how a section is remembered after the music moves on, and it costs less per piece than most costume trim.

Our beads are made in the United States and we work with organizers on shipping to Toronto. Contact us early so we can confirm cross border shipping and lead time for your parade date. Call (877) 723-2348 to plan the order.
Can you print our mas band name and section on the throws?

Order well ahead. Most custom orders are produced in 14 days or less at our US facility, but a cross border delivery needs added time, so start early and we will set a target date around the parade.
