About this event

Annual Caribbean carnival parade and street festival in Far Rockaway with mas bands, soca and reggae, food vendors, and Caribbean-American community pride — one of Queens' largest Black cultural street events.

Why we picked it

Far Rockaway's carnival is Queens's answer to Eastern Parkway — smaller scale, tighter community, same soca-and-mas energy.

Good for

Caribbean diaspora, Far Rockaway locals, mas-band + soca crew

Need to know

Beach 20th + Mott Ave area. A train to Rockaway. Bring water — August heat + parade route.
