Brooklyn, United States. 21st Aug, 2017. NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio joined NYPD commissioner James O'Neill, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams & other officials in Brooklyn to announce that the pre-dawn Labor Day celebration known as J'Ouvert will take on a new form similar to New Year's Eve celebrations in Times Square. These changes, which include a later start time and restricted access to the parade route, are designed to reduce the violence that has plagued recent J'Ouverts and led to some calls for its cancellation.
