Carnival Celebration Back on the Scene Jersey City Carnival 2022

Multitudes from the Caribbean community arrived ready to celebrate at the 27th Jersey City West Indian Caribbean American Carnival Association Inc. (JCWICACAI) Statewide Carnival Parade and Post Parade Grand Marshal Roaming Relay on July 23 and 24. Celebrants gathered at noon on Saturday, July 23 at Lincoln Park in Jersey City and paraded first to Jersey City Hall, then to Columbus Drive and Warren Street. A joyful occasion showcasing Caribbean culture, the parade features marchers, characters, and bands with vibrant, colorful clothing, costume, and music. After the parade, participants regrouped in Orange, NJ for the Grand Marshal Roaming Relay. Later, all returned to Jersey City for a “Night Lime,” a traditional Caribbean party. The festivities continued on Sunday at the Hoboken Riverfront with a “Heal and Release Day Event.” Finally, second day celebrations concluded in Newark at the “Evening Lime.”
