West Indian-American Day Carnival

The traditional Brooklyn West Indes Day Parade is going on today, we got some photos for those who couldn't make it out to celebrate.

This Caribbean celebration, known for having lively music and lots of skin, is never short on costumed stilt dancers, floats blaring soca and calypso music, and plenty of flags from countries such as Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Look for vendors stationed along Eastern Parkway selling island eats like jerk chicken, curry goat and oxtail.
