For the first time in the city's history, Brooklyn will host a designated parade celebrating Jamaican culture on Saturday, August 8. Running under the theme “Jamaica Rising: One People. One Legacy. One Future,” this massive community road march is designed to unite the diaspora and build excitement toward Jamaica’s 65th Anniversary of Independence next year. 📍 The Route: The march kicks off at 11:00 AM at the intersection of Flatbush Avenue and Church Avenue (Bob Marley Boulevard) and proceeds right through the heart of Brooklyn's Caribbean community. 🎉 Block Party: The parade concludes with a major street festival at Dr. Ronald McNair Park on Eastern Parkway featuring live local DJs, cultural showcases, and vendors serving up traditional Jamaican food.
