Haitian Day Parade & HaitianSpringFest, Sunday May 27, 2012
The Haitian Day Parade & HaitianSpringFest are truly unique. It is family oriented by design. Truth be told, the month of May is Haitian Heritage Month. May has great historical and cultural traditions that all Haitians are proud to make others aware of and to pass on to future generations. It is in that spirit that the Haitian Day Parade & HaitianSpringFest always closed the month for the past nine years. This celebration incorporates a Haitian patriotic theme into an exciting day of cultural activities including food, musical entertainment, floats with beautiful queens and princesses and much more in the parade/Festival. Smiling families dine at sidewalk cafes. The air is filled with music, laughter, and the tempting aromas of Haitian cuisine. Surely, this must be Haiti? Actually, it is the HaitianSpringFest in Brooklyn, Nostrand Avenue / Toussaint Louverture Blvd (Little Haiti). C' est reellement magnifique! The HaitianSpringFest always closes with one of the most spectacular musical performance by either T-Vice, Sweet Micky,or Kreyol la, the best from the Haitian community.
