It is time for the very popular Labor Day Jam in Brooklyn. Five days of official carnival events that culminate with the parade of the bands/revelers on "D'Parkway"; this festival is so well known around the World by those who love to participate in Caribbean-style Carnival celebrations.
The following events are the official events that are sponsored mainly by WIADCA (the official body responsible for the carnival) however, there are many fetes that are promoted all over Brooklyn during this period. Many will be finding a 'fete of choice' to have a good time all week long and especially for the weekend activities.
