As Labor Day Carnival season heats up in New York City, the celebrations are already rolling—and today, Brooklyn hosts one of the diaspora’s most beloved gatherings: Cedros Day 2026 at Canarsie Park.
Cedros Day brings together people from Cedros, Trinidad & Tobago, now living across New York and the wider Caribbean diaspora, for a full day of community, culture, music, food, memories, and pure good vibes. It’s a homecoming away from home — a space where we keep traditions alive, share stories, and let Cedros pride shine bright.
The event is produced by One Cedros Crew – Never Two, a team dedicated to preserving and celebrating Cedros heritage wherever Trinbagonians gather. And for those who can’t make it in person, vlogger “I Am Living My Life” streams the entire celebration live on YouTube.
This year’s Cedros Day comes with a special highlight:
The man who wrote and performed the original "Doggie," Anselm Douglas—the song that later became the global smash hit “Who Let the Dogs Out” by the Baha Men—is scheduled to perform live. This is a true piece of Caribbean music history returning to the people.
Cedros Day isn’t just an event—it's a reminder of how deeply culture travels, grows, and stays rooted regardless of where the community goes. As Labor Day Carnival approaches, this celebration sets the tone for the season: unity, heritage, and unstoppable Trinbago energy.
