Whether you’re joining our contingent on di Parkway, or just watching the parade dance by from the sidewalk, here is what you need to know before joining this Monday’s Caribbean festivities!
Marching with the Public Advocate
This year, we’re proud to partner with Comptroller Mark Levine and Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. While everybody is welcome to the general party, a wristband is required for marching contingent participation near our float. The number of available wristbands is limited; RSVP to request yours.
Accessibility
Space on our float is also limited, but we’ll reserve spots for individuals requiring mobility accommodations.
Street Closures and Transit Information
As with all big city events, expect heightened security and transit alterations. We strongly encourage those looking to participate to use public transportation, but whether you’re driving or not, check for street closures before leaving the house.
What to Bring
Flags, powder, and great energy are a must, but don’t forget about safety. Dress comfortably and light–temperatures are expected to hit the 80s on Monday. Bring plenty of water, wear sunscreen and watch out for signs of heat exhaustion.
What if I Can’t Get a Wristband?
You can still say hi to us along the parade route on Eastern Parkway between Ralph Avenue and Plaza Street West starting 11 AM. See you on di Parkway!
