Miami Carnival 2007 Pictures and Videos
Although the forecast predicted rain, the streets of downtown Miami were dry and HOT! Once again I had a great time hanging with my West Indian peoples. Which country repp’ed the hardest? This year it was Trinidad. Guyana & Barbados had a nice turnouts too… very nice girls. There wasnt as much food for sale because the police told merchants they could not sell without a permit (not even water).
Anyways, the parade was supposed to start at 9am, but it didnt begin until 2pm. I took SOME pics but as you all know Im more of a video type of person…

Miami Carnival has been an Annual Event since 1984. Within two years of its inception, it had grown from a small neighborhood festival to an international event bringing live bands and calypsonians from the islands. Inquiries came from New York and other major cities. The present Carnival, the Caribbean Mardi Gras, has become the foremost revenue-producing festival for South Florida and is the most popular Carnival in North America.
