Thousands of people flocked to the annual West Indian Parade on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. Mayor Bill de Blasio and his family were in attendance.

“This parade started small, became big and is one of the great events in our city,” de Blasio said. The Caribbean population is a “growing community, a strong community, and a community well-represented in our administration.”
