West Indian Day Parade 2010 in Brooklyn

Up to three million people are expected to show up for the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn, NY.

The parade itself starts at 11am EDT at Utica Avenue, and runs along Eastern Parkway to the Brooklyn Museum. Festivities continue until 6pm. The parade route was shortened; normally the West Indian Day Parade ends at Grand Army Plaza.

If you're headed out to the West Indian Day Parade, take the Subway. Traffic is going to be hideous.

"The food, the drinks, the friends, the family that you see they come from all over the world," said parade organizer Jean Alexander. "And all of a sudden you meet them. You're walking down the street and you see your grandmother or your nephew or somebody who lives in another country, it is such a wonderful feeling."
