West Indian Day Parade Labor Day Monday, September 4, 2006   Photographed by Al McCotter

New York City celebrated Labor Day with Brooklyn's Annual West Indian Day Parade. Thousand of people lined the streets to cheer on the marchers who wore the costumes and played the music of all the different islands of the Caribbean. On hand for the party were celebrity Sean Paul, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and local-politician-on-the-go Mark Green. It was a rocking celebration of the lives and culture of the Caribbean.

"And there was dancing, dancing in the streets."
