WIADCA — West Indian American Day Carnival Association — cares about our community and your safety.

Join us in celebrating 58 years of New York Carnival by being safe, alert, following guidelines, and engaging together respectfully. 

 SAFETY FIRST, ALWAYS — CARNIVAL IS FOR CULTURE, NOT CONFLICT 

This Labor Day weekend, we’re coming together as one community — secure, accessible, focused, and empowered — to celebrate our heritage, music, food, and vibrant traditions. 

Your safety is our top priority — from the first drumbeat to the last note of music. NO GUNS. NO VIOLENCE. Period. Let’s work together to keep our community safe, strong, and united so we can create memories that last a lifetime.

 Remember our S.A.F.E. promise:

S – Secure the space

A – Alert authorities when needed

F – Follow event guidelines

E – Engage respectfully

 Put safety first.

 Respect the culture.

 Celebrate freely.
