It’s Carnival Monday in Brooklyn, and Eastern Parkway is the center of the universe for Caribbean culture. Masqueraders, steelbands, DJs, and flag‑waving revelers have taken over the Parkway with pure color, rhythm, and island pride.

From sunrise to afternoon, the vibes are nonstop—costumes shimmering in the sun, trucks pumping soca and dancehall, and the diaspora celebrating one massive cultural homecoming in the heart of New York City.

Views of today’s happenings are rolling in as Carnival transforms Brooklyn into a living, breathing Caribbean festival.
