The West Indian American Day Parade, a vibrant celebration of Caribbean culture in Brooklyn, features participants in dazzling costumes, presenting a unique taste of the Caribbean.
'The parade is the culmination of a year of hard work and dedication, a commercial for not just New York City's Caribbean culture, but the entire Caribbean community,' said Jelanie DeShong.
This weekend's festivities are described as a love story for the Caribbean community, inviting both newcomers and those familiar with the culture to celebrate together.
Originally started in Harlem during the 1930s by Trinidadian immigrant Jessie Waddle, the parade has evolved from indoor gatherings to a grand outdoor celebration.
