Eastern Parkway Throws for the Labor Day Carnival
The West Indian Day Carnival brings Brooklyn Eastern Parkway to life every Labor Day with mas bands, steel pan, soca, and one of the largest Caribbean celebrations in North America. Custom beads and throws give a mas band, a section, or a sponsor a branded keepsake that finishes a costume and hands the crowd a memento. Printed with a band name or a section theme, a strand carries your colors along the Parkway and stays with spectators long after the parade.
Throws for the Parkway
Build a mix for your band or section:
- Full color medallion beads printed with the band name, section, or sponsor.
- LED light up beads for the J Ouvert lead up and evening events.
- Custom shape beads cut as a feather, a flag, or a carnival motif.
- Custom medallion doubloons as section tokens and collector throws.
- Custom lanyards for band leaders, crew, and credentials.
Made in the USA and Shipped to the Five Boroughs
Every order is designed and printed at our United States facility, where most custom orders are produced in 14 days or less. We ship nationwide, including to Brooklyn and the five boroughs. Because Labor Day weekend is a fixed deadline, order at least three weeks out and we will confirm the ship date, with rush options when the calendar is tight.
Why Bands Print Carnival Throws
A plain strand is lost in a crowd that fills the Parkway for blocks. A throw printed with your band name and section becomes the item spectators reach for and keep, and it doubles as branding for your sponsors. A branded medallion sets your band apart on a long route at a lower cost per piece than most costume pieces.
