The\u00a0parade steps\u00a0off Church and Flatbush avenues\u00a0at 10am, with beats from DJ Danglez turning the route into a full-on island celebration. You can\u00a0watch\u00a0the parade for free,\u00a0but\u00a0those who like their festivities with a side of exclusivity can opt for an 8 to 10:30am VIP breakfast ($108) where you can mingle with elected officials, community leaders and other distinguished guests. The celebration\u00a0wraps up with a block party at\u00a0Dr. Ronald McNair Park along Eastern Parkway from 3 to 6pm, where participants can enjoy food, more music and the best of vibes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On August 8, Brooklyn will host the inaugural Jamaica Rising Day Parade, celebrating Jamaican heritage and the generations&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316799,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[86833,98,100,99,2525,119422,4305,9,24,63,102615,904,52209],"class_list":["post-316798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-adults-all-ages","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-good-for-vibe-outdoors","tag-kids-all-ages","tag-more-free","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-price-free","tag-things-to-do","tag-things-to-do-festivals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
