Hundreds enjoy inaugural
Vincy Day in Brooklyn
By Nelson A. King
Organizers have described as
very successful the inaugural
Vincy Day in Brooklyn.
Hundreds turned out on Sunday,
at Seaview Park in Canarsie,
Brooklyn, for the inaugural event
that was hampered, almost at picnic’s
end, by torrential downpours
from Tropical Storm Henri.
“I love it,” Chairman Vilard
“Mr. Cool” Samuel, told Caribbean
Life adjacent to a tent,
under which popular Vincentian
DJ Supa Eyes blasted Caribbean
vibes, flanked by members of his
organizing group, dubbed “Cool
and the Gang,”
“The original group, Vincy Day
USA, was not doing anything,” he
added. “So, we decided to come
out and do our thing. It’s just to
have fun.
“It’s a different community,”
continued Samuel, contrasting
his group’s event with the massive
Vincy Day USA, Inc.’s annual
picnic that takes place at the
1,657-acre Heckscher State Park
on the shore of the Great South
Bay in East Islip, Suffolk County,
Long Is.
The annual Vincy Day USA,
Inc.’s picnic was suspended for
the last two years because of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
“Everything is free,” Samuel
said. “We’re having fun. We’re celebrating

life. We’re not charging
anybody anything.
“It’s the biggest crowd we’ve
had,” he added, stating that,
before his group decided to brand
the event “Vincy Day in Brooklyn”,
he and a group of friends,
primarily from East 95th Street
in Brooklyn, picnicked at Seaview
Park on weekends.
“We’re here all the time, and
it’s easy access,” Samuel continued.
“Long Island (Heckscher
State Park) is an hour away.”
He said that, once COVID-19
abates, and the situation returns
to normal, his group will adjust its
picnic date to avert any potential
conflict with the grand Vincy Day
USA, Inc.’s picnic in Long Island.
The latter usually takes place on
the third Saturday in August.
“We’ll have Vincy Day in Brooklyn
next year, but not on that particular
day,” Samuel said.
“We’re not fighting with anybody;
we’re just having fun,” he
stressed.
Carlton “Callo” Clarke, a member
of “Cool and the Gang”, who
lives in Brooklyn, said he was very
pleased with the attendance at the
inaugural event.

said. “It’s one love.”
Bennett Straker, another member
of the group and an entertainment
promoter in Brooklyn, said
he was blown away by the turnout.
