West Indian American Day Parade

A giant Caribbean parade which takes place in Brooklyn on the Labour Day Holiday (last Monday Sept 4). The first part of it was made use of by American politicians (Congressional midterms are comming up here in November) and corporations, although sometimes the difference between the two was not clear.







Later the real party started. There were people from all over: Haiti, Cuba, Trinidad and Tabago. This was the crowd going crazy with flags behind one of the Jamaican floats. Apparently some people party through the night before, sleep a couple of hours and then carry on.







Here are some more random images of the parade:
