The designers for JouvayFest Collective, a group from Trinidad and Tobago, have been intricately sewing carnival costumes for decades, mastering the art of celebration.
Wednesday through Friday, designers convene nightly at their East Flatbush camp, transforming a backyard into a vibrant workspace filled with creativity, music, and collaboration.
Each night at the camp is not merely a preparation for the carnival, but a celebration itself, with a DJ spinning tunes, food, and communal joy.
The costumes debut down Flatbush Avenue at 6 a.m. on Labor Day, embodying the hard work and passion poured into months of crafting vibrant Caribbean heritage.
