Brooklyn will be alive with Caribbean culture at the 50th annual West Indian Day Carnival.
The event features a parade through Crown Heights on Monday.
It starts on Schenectady Avenue, and follows Eastern Parkway to Grand Army Plaza.
The parade runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Before the parade is the J'ouvert festival, which gets underway this year at 6 in the morning instead of 4.
The city is introducing ramped up security measures for the event, including more patrol officers and security checkpoints.
There will also be more light towers and HD security cameras.
The changes are designed to curb violence that has plagued festivities in recent years.
Two people were killed during J'Ouvert last year.
And an aide to Governor Cuomo was killed in 2015.
