Catch all the color and excitment as millions of Brooklynites & New Yorkers line up along Eastern Parkway for the Brooklyn Labor Day parade on September 3, 2007.

This year, the West Indian American Day Parade & Carnival, by far the city's biggest parade, celebrates its 40th anniversary.

As in the past, count on crowds to be waving flags from Trinidad, Barbados, Grenada and other nations in a joyful expression of ethnic heritage & cultural pride.

You don't have to be from the West Indies

Everyone's invited to take part in the spectacle of thousands of marchers in colorful costumes 'jumpin' down the parade route to the sounds of reggae and calypso.

A special added-attraction : the aromas of native foods like Jamaican jerk chicken, Bajan fried flying fish, and other soul-satisfying treats at the city's biggest street festival.

And that's just on Labor Day.

Takin' the weekend off

In fact, the entire weekend is devoted to special events — with a special Kiddie Carnival on Saturday, a Dimanche Gras (Fat Sunday) celebration, and an early Monday morning (starting around 3AM) J'Ouvert parade, a celebration of steel pan drums that kicks off the main parade beginning at 11AM.
