As the summer winds down to the end there is still one big event to look forward to, one grand finale, a culmination of summer fun that brings out millions of spectators and participants submerged in a sea of cultural identity and pride. This event is formally known as the West Indian American Day Parade.
This year marks the 43rd Labor Day parade and it promises to be eventful and filled with energy. On August 12th New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will host his annual dinner to kickoff the festivities leading up to Labor Day 2010.
The dinner party will have countless numbers of influential Caribbean Americans, as well as, tons of press.
New York City is home to the largest West Indian parade celebration in the United States and attracts millions of people to Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn for the past 43 years. This year's Labor Day celebrations will begin on September 2 at Brooklyn Museum where the West Indian American Day Carnival Association is hosting a benefit concert for Haiti.
