The weekend has arrived in New York City, but this isn’t just any ordinary Friday. This is the moment when the Caribbean diaspora begins its annual cultural takeover of Brooklyn, ushering in the full excitement of Labor Day Carnival.
From the fetes lighting up the night to the steelpan competitions echoing across the Brooklyn Museum grounds to the grand parade rolling out on Monday, the city is about to pulse with pure Caribbean spirit. It’s a celebration of music, heritage, and unity—a reminder of how deeply Carnival shapes the heartbeat of the diaspora.
So to set the tone, we’re dropping a brand‑new mixtape highlighting the early music releases for Carnival 2027. Fresh tracks, new energy, and the first wave of riddims that will carry us straight into the season. Curated and mixed by DJ Treasure for your listening pleasure... you are welcome!
Enjoy the music. Enjoy this NYC weekend of Carnival vibes. And above all, stay safe as you celebrate the culture we proudly share with the world.
