Labor Day Caribbean Carnival

Every year the Caribbean people from all over the world get together to celebrate their labor day carnival parade on Eastern Parkway. Labor day is a fun day for them to do business, party, play mass, and get together with their friends and family.

This is an important day for them to remember. You'll see all the beautiful floats, with sexy costumes, people playing calypso music (Soca Music). About 2 million people participate in this celebration. Lots of spectators, and tourists enjoy looking at the parade. Great spicy foods and cool drinks, vendors selling on the side walks, and in front of their homes.

I love Labor Day because this is the time when people get a chance to make cultural outfits & jewelry to sell to the Caribbean spectators. Most of them like to wear their country outfits and jewelry.

This day brings people together to enjoy themselves, dance, jump up and have lots of fun.

Labor Day celebration is always the first Monday in September. Some people start to celebrate the festival, about two weeks before the parade. They love to visit the steel band's yards and mass camps to listen to the music and check out their costumes they plan to wear for the parade.

On Saturday, September 5, they usually celebrate the Junior Carnival for the kids, in Brooklyn at Kingston Ave & St. Johns to Franklin Avenue, to the Brooklyn Museum Grounds. The parade starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m. sharp.

On Saturday, September 5, they celebrate the Steel Band Panorama, at the Brooklyn Museum, it starts from 7:00 p.m. until midnight. This festival is for all the steel band members to participate in the steel band competition.

On Sunday, September 6, they celebrate the Demarche Gras. This is a show where all the Calypsonians perform.

Early Monday morning from 3:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. they celebrate Jouvert (Joo-VAY). This is an early morning carnival celebration. The Steel bands play their music to compete with each other for the Best Playing Band and best costume on the Road.

The West Indian American Day Carnival parade starts at 8:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m on Eastern Parkway and Utica Avenue to Flatbush Avenue Ext. You will see masqueraders, floats, moko jumbies, costume bands and other performers. You'll see lots of spectators, dancing, jumping up and having lots of fun in the bands and on the sidewalks. This is a fun day for tourists to visit.
