Broward Caribbean Carnival Dancer
Every October, for the last six years, the West Indian community residing in Broward County has been organizing the Broward Caribbean Carnival in Lauderhill.
This year’s edition has broken all attendance records with approximately 11,000 participants. For the first time, The Broward Carnival may have surpassed the Miami one, which only had 7,000 participants.
The carnival is an occasion to celebrate the Caribbean culture, to have fun, dance and enjoy good food and good company. So is the Miami one, and the idea of turning them into one big event is slowly growing in the organizers’ minds.
In order to attend the two festivals, people come to South Florida even from as far as Canada, New York or Trinidad. The problem is that, with the two carnivals taking place at the same time, the tourists usually can attend only one, so they make a choice.
There is good news as well, though: whichever they will choose, they will find themselves surrounded by a crowd of colorfully costumed dancers, and musicians playing the traditional calypso and soca rhythms; the perfect opportunity to enjoy life at its fullest.
