When I lived in Detroit I recall a Caribbean festival that included a Carnival type parade going down Woodward and ending at Hart Plaza the second weekend in August. Is that event still held in Detroit?

The African World Fest was amazing when it was held on Hart Plaza. As I remember it was the biggest and IMO the best!!!

I lived in Detroit during the late 70's Hart Plaza ethnic festivals. They were great fun. What happened?
