New York City’s annual West Indian American Day Carnival, held on Labor Day, will head to Crown Heights in Brooklyn once again for a day of festivities that celebrates the history, culture, music, food, and people from myriad Caribbean countries. Each year, the parade attracts more than a million people, making it one of the, if not the, largest Caribbean celebrations in the country.
Expect the route to be packed with revelers (say goodbye to your personal space), including many people in gloriously colorful costumes. As the various floats go by, enjoy sounds of reggae, soca, calypso, and dancehall and the unique dance styles that go along with them. Vendors will also be selling clothing, food, and other goods that are representative of the various countries involved.
Here’s what else you need to know about the event. |
