This was indeed an event I am always looking forward to. The carnival happens always on the last weekend in August, which is the weekend before Labour Day weekend. That made it complicated this year since Labour Day weekend was the last one in August.So what do do? The website was not very informative - they archive but don't announce there. Thank good I got a phone call just in time as a reminder - thanks Chicken. :D.

It was a fantastic, sunny sunny afternoon (they say it was the nicest weekend in Mass all summer - well they must know it...), rushing out of bed at 2 pm. and being on Martin Luther King Blvd. Just in time at 3.30 pm or so. Yea, I was really in the groove. But unlike in previous years, I paid more attention to the photography than I did to the music. Well, sometimes priorities just change. The parade went on and I was making my way up Blue Hill Ave. towards Franklin Park, where the parade finishes. I arrived there early so I thought I would get a few good shots in of the incoming groups and dancers. I was wrong. That bit was totally unspectacular. Thankfully I got the job done on the street before. Well, I decided to leave the parade behind and check out the festival in the park. And I immediately was attracted by the "Fish and Bake" stand - unfortunately like many others as well. So, it took me 45 minutes to get my share. And boy, was that good. Some good things take a bit longer sometimes... Check out the pictures of the Boston Caribbean Carnival 2008.
