Tropicalfete, a major Brooklyn-based Caribbean cultural group, on Sunday attracted thousands of onlookers, as it hosted its 2nd Annual Pop-Up Caribbean Carnival in Times Square.
Alton Aimable, the group’s St. Lucian-born founder and director, told Caribbean Life that the crowd was “much bigger than last year.”
“Being in the center of New York City. I feel extremely proud to put our culture at the crossroads of the world, where the objective is to see that our culture should be acceptable, and attract tourism dollars and sponsorship to cement Caribbean culture as a major part of the American landscape,” he said.
