Carnival 2005
It's the largest Parade in North America. Join the festivities,
experience the Color and Pageantry of the 38th Annual West Indian
American Day Carnival Parade.
Where:
Eastern Parkway
between Utica Avenue & Grand Army Plaza |
Brooklyn
Subway
to Grand Army Plaza or Franklin Avenue
to Grand Army Plaza or Franklin Avenue or Utica Avenue
to Franklin Avenue or Utica Avenue
to Franklin Avenue No service to the
Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum stop for most of the day
TIP: Getting off the subway at Grand Army Plaza puts you at the end of
the parade route in one of the most crowded and controlled areas where
the parade disperses not looking its best. If you arrive early best spot
is across from the Brooklyn Museum but space is restricted and limited.
Better choices are the Franklin or Utica Avenue stops |
