Jamaica Rising Day Parade
August 8 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm EDT
For the first time in New York City’s history, Brooklyn will host a dedicated festival celebrating Jamaican culture.
The Jamaica Rising Day Parade will begin at 10 a.m. at Bob Marley Boulevard (Church Avenue & Flatbush Avenue) and travel along Flatbush Avenue through Brooklyn.
Thousands are expected to attend, with music, marching bands, schools, churches, community groups, vendors, entertainers, athletes and cultural organizations showcasing Jamaican heritage.
The Jamaica Rising Day Parade is built on four transformational pillars that drive education, cultural preservation, community upliftment, and economic advancement. These pillars form the core architecture of every partnership, program, and initiative we deploy.
