Thou­sands of mas­quer­aders and rev­ellers are ex­pect­ed to de­scend on New York’s Brook­lyn’s East­ern Park­way on Mon­day for the 58th An­nu­al New York Caribbean Car­ni­val Pa­rade.

Brook­lyn-based West In­di­an Amer­i­can Day Car­ni­val As­so­ci­a­tion (WIAD­CA), the or­gan­is­er of the an­nu­al spec­ta­cle, said Mon­day’s mas­sive pa­rade is the cul­mi­na­tion of the Caribbean Car­ni­val Week that kicked off last Thurs­day, Au­gust 28, at the Brook­lyn Mu­se­um.

WIAD­CA said it is cel­e­brat­ing “58 years of Caribbean cul­ture, cui­sine, pro­grammes, con­tri­bu­tion, mas, steel band and more,” un­der the theme, “Vive Le Car­ni­vale!”
