Vincy Mas is a major revenue generator for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The festival, which returned in 2022 after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, saw some strategic changes that resulted in increased revenue. The Miss SVG competition, a popular event during the festival, was relocated to a later date in the year, resulting in over $100,000 in gate receipts.
