The 3rd annual Long Island Caribbean-American International Festival (LICAIF) will be held on June 23 from 1 to 9 p.m. at Eisenhower Park’s Lakeside Theater.  The festival will “commemorate Caribbean Heritage Month and celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Jamaica and Trinidad’s independence,” according to a statement from Nassau County. This event is free and open to all.

LICAIF will feature music, food, Caribbean Tourist Expo, Wellness pavilion, an awards ceremony and displays from Caribbean islands. The evening will end with a fireworks display.

“The last two festivals were attended by thousands who came to celebrate the many cultures of the Caribbean, and I once again invite everyone to Eisenhower Park for this great event,” said Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano in the statement.
