Engine Room Section, Inc., was founded in 1994 for the sole purpose of promoting Caribbean/ American culture and bringing back the “old time” way of masquerading, or as Trinidadians would say “playing mas”, into the Annual Caribbean/American Carnival in the City of Boston. With this old school theme in mind a few of the fellas and gyals got together and brought the original form of costuming, Mud Mas commonly known as ole mas, onto the Boston Carnival stage. From that point on Engine Room Section and mud mas have become synonymous, and a permanent fixture in Boston Carnival. In June 1998, Engine Room Section registered with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office/Division of Public Charities as a non-profit social and cultural organization. From our humble beginning we have made our motto, “Together as One”, the driving force in our method of operation. We constantly strive to: Organize and participate in the Annual Caribbean/American Carnival in the City of Boston.
