🇯🇲 Exciting things are happening in Brooklyn!

Plans for the inaugural Jamaica Day Rising Parade 2026 continue to take shape, bringing together community leaders, elected officials, business owners, and members of the Jamaican diaspora to celebrate Jamaican culture, heritage, and contributions.

We are especially proud that our very own board member Dr. Ionie Pierce is part of this important initiative, helping to build bridges across communities and support a celebration that will honor the rich legacy and vibrant future of Jamaica in New York City.

Congratulations to the Jamaica Day Rising Parade team, Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke, the Consulate General of Jamaica (NY), and all of the organizers working to make this historic event a success.

🇯🇲 One Love. One People. One Community.
