Marketplace / Vendors

Introduction

Arts and Craft vendors will be in our marketplace selling t-shirts, flags, toys, games, jewelry, souvenirs, paintings, wood carvings, incense, pottery and more. Bring cash and or have a debit or credit card ready for smooth and quick transactions.

What to Expect

The Parade will take place on Saturday, August 13th and will feature over 30 different entries/bands, many of whom will be dressed in traditional Caribbean carnival costumes meandering around on our approved parade route. Our concert will begin at 4pm and will run simultaneously with the judging stage. That’s right, we will have two live stages in Bushnell Park this year. Our concert will feature live performances from combination of local, emerging, and international Caribbean talents.

The Street Parade of Bands coupled with the live concert segment in the Bushnell Park will attract thousands of people from around Hartford, CT and beyond. This is your opportunity to connect with the people from various backgrounds.
