Due to about a month's worth of out-of-town parties, family reunions, wedding receptions and the like, field trips have gotten a bit sparse around these parts. Yesterday, however, Nathan and I found ourselves with (gasp!) a free day so we decided to head down to Hart Plaza to check out the annual Caribbean International Festival.
Unfortunately, we missed Saturday's parade, but we were able to fulfill a lifetime's worth of shea butter, jerk chicken, incense, Bob Marley paraphernalia and African mask needs.
The highlight of the day was watching a drum and dance performance put on by a local high school. They were amazing, although my shaky and blurry video doesn't really do them justice, but the best part comes about a minute in when the camera pans down to let you watch the cutest little girl in the world shake her thang. Enjoy.

My friend and former co-worker, who's of Caribbean descent, has gone to this festival many times. Full-out parading in costume and everything. I always thought it sounded like a really fun time. I'm jealous!
Looks like a fun time! You're right --- the little girl is too cute for words. Thanks for sharing!

Oh my god, that little girl is awesome.
Looks like a fun day.
