NYC Labor Day Parades






West Indian Carnival Parade, Brooklyn












don't need to tell you about the facilities and tourist attractions in New York, so we'll just focus on the labor day parades.
The biggest Labor Day parade is usually held in Manhattan, on Fifth Ave, organized by the New York City Central Labor Council (NYCCLC). The whole thing is a carnival, with everyone in the Northeast - labor leaders, politicians, community organizers, and individual labor unions organizing their own cadres to join in, and it ends up as a massive parade.


















You might also want to attend the West Indian Carnival Parade in Brooklyn, which coincides with Labor Day. The whole thing is actually part of a festival - a celebration of Caribbean culture, food and music, spread out over the weekend and packing in the crowds like you'll never believe.
