West Indian American Day Parade and Carnival 2009- Labor Day Brooklyn's the place to be.
Every year thousands upon thousands of people of Caribbean descent come out to Brooklyn, New York to enjoy the parade, concerts, and related festivities associated with the West Indian American Day Parade and Carnival. Now in its 42nd year, it's one of those events that West Indians from across the US do not want to miss, and a great experience for those who are not of West Indian descent as well. All you need is a love of music and culture and partying and you'll be guaranteed a good time. In all these years, I have never made it out to this festival, however, I regularly attend Caribana in Toronto in August. This year, I hope to be in NYC so I can attend my first of what will hopefully be many years.

The actual parade is on Monday, September 7 from 11:00am to 6:00pm at Brooklyn's Prospect Park (parade starts from Utica Ave and Eastern Pkwy) and is absolutely FREE.

BROOKLYN CARNIVAL 2009

West Indian American Day Carnival In Brooklyn Today.
Today is the 42nd annual West Indian American Day Carnival in Brooklyn, celebrating the cultures of the Caribbean. The colorful parade, estimated to be the city's largest with 3 million revelers, heads down Eastern Parkway, from Utica Avenue to Flatbush Avenue, and features costume bands, masqueraders, moko jumbies (stilt walkers!), floats and many more sights. The parade started at 8 a.m. and will go until 6 p.m., so you'll have plenty of opportunity to check it out.

Especially since this is an election year, expect to see lots of candidates for citywide office on the scene. The carnival association also promises lots of enticing food: "All of Eastern Parkway will be host to various dishes from every Caribbean island. There will be stands lined up along the service roads selling jerk chicken, chicken stew, fried chicken, beef stew, oxtail, rice and peas, salad, macaroni pie, fried flying fish, curry goat, roti, callaloo, souse, salt fish, fried bake, coconut bread, and much more. There is plenty to choose from, whatever your diet may be
