Event Description

Braata Productions presents a parade float and special presentation of Jonkanoo during the West Indian Labor Day Parade celebrating the 60th year of independence of Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago on Monday, September 5, 2022, beginning at 11am on Schenectady Avenue in Crown Heights, then running down Eastern Parkway and ending at Grand Army Plaza. For more information, visit wiadcacarnival.org.

Braata's mission is to showcase, celebrate, and preserve traditional folk culture, and their float will reflect that with life-sized Effigies, as well as a DJ and the Braata Folk Singers, bringing music from both Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago. Assemblymember Brian Cunningham will host. The float will culminate with a special Jonkanoo presentation in front of the Brooklyn Museum. Jonkanoo is a Jamaican masquerade tradition with roots in African ancestry. The characters featured will include belly woman, pitchy patchy, and Actor Boy, to name a few.
