New York City's West Indian American Day Parade celebrates Caribbean culture in one of the world's largest gatherings, featuring vibrant costumes, music, and community participation.
The annual Labor Day event, now in its 57th year, transforms Brooklyn's Eastern Parkway into a festive display of vibrant costumes and lively music that encapsulates the spirit of Caribbean heritage.
With roots in early 20th-century Carnival celebrations initiated by a Trinidadian immigrant, the parade has evolved into a key event for the Caribbean community in Brooklyn.
This year's Labor Day parade culminates a series of carnival events, including a steel pan band competition and J'Ouvert, a celebration of freedom commemorating the end of slavery.
