Its main event is the West Indian-American Day Parade, which attracts up to four million spectators who watch the parade on its route along Eastern Parkway. The large parade is held on the first Monday in the month of September."
After a long run as our on-line paper of record for NYC Carnival the nydailynews has gone to a pay per view model with minimal on-line information. Our archival excerpts from prior years hold the source link info which can be converted to the full text along with your cash.

Labor Day Sunday Manhattan's Little Brazil on 46th Street, between Broadway and Park Avenue where you can still find Brazilian food, music, and Brazilian products. In 1984 the City of New York proclaimed the first Sunday in September as the day in which it celebrates Brazilian Independence from Portugal. The event has been managed for the past several years by The Brazilian American Cultural Center and THE BRASILIANS NEWSPAPER as one of the many endeavors they maintain to serve the Brazilian community and promote Brazil internationally.
| J'Ouvert (pronounced Joo-VAY and often spelt as Jouvert ) means daybreak and is a grass-roots revival of an old Trinidadian custom. Since its inception in 1991, New York has become the world's 2nd best J'Ouvert. Like Port of Spain in Trinidad the loose parade format features steel bands and mud mas. Join revellers very early Monday Labor Day morning about 3am and ending about 9am. The Steel bands prepare music just for this parade and compete for Best Playing Band on the Road and also for Best Costumed Band. This make the 24 hours beginning with Sunday 8pm Dimache Gras among the most unwavering anywhere in the Carnival world. Check out the insider's guide at carnaval.com/newyork/#JOuvert |  |

If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
One of the big differences between the great traditional pre-Lenten Carnival celebrations and the growing newer post WWII events is the less tolerance of the police towards alcoholic consumption on the street. In NYC Mayor Rudy's 2000 ban on beer sales at parades still stands despite much opposition and cost to festival organizers.

Stanislaus WIADCA Board member and historian Written in '97 & '98 Festival Arts in Public Education Roots of Carnival lead to Africa "Important to Caribbean festival arts are the ancient African traditions of parading and moving in circles through villages in costumes and masks.
