This weekend, a little rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of Carnival goers during the annual West Indian American Carnival Parade in Brooklyn, New York. This year’s theme “Caribbean Pride & Culture” took center stage all day as the mas camps made their way down Brooklyn’s famed Eastern Parkway.
This year marked the 46th anniversary of this multi-cultural, Caribbean Carnival extravaganza. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and other Grand Marshals led the parade in the ultimate expression of Caribbean Pride and Culture . Known as NYC’s “Greatest Show on Earth”, this colorful Parade of costumed revelers and millions of spectators enjoy music, camaraderie, fun, food and family as they “JUMP-UP” to the scintillating sounds of Soca, Reggae, Salsa, Zouk, Kompa and Calypso!
Earlier in the day, revelers enjoyed the annual J’Ouvert Parade. Enjoy the pics!! Fun was had by all including yours truly…. alas, its time to get back to da A!
