The 2018 Miami Carnival Costume Guide

In the past week to two weeks I’ve gotten so many questions about costumes, bands for Miami Carnival 2018–it was time for a blog post. Here’s a list, FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES about what Miami carnival costumes are out there, names of bands, how much etc etc and what’s included. Check out last year’s experience with Revel Nation here. **I’ve played with Revel Nation since the very beginning and honestly I have no complaints, literally the best customer service I’ve experienced in my 8 years of doing Miami Carnival. Also, check out this list of this year’s events if you just want to party or both.** If you don’t know anything about Miami carnival costumes, here’s a quick run down of what’s TYPICALLY and BASICALLY included in your purchase:
