If you were wondering why all of the sudden, police were patrolling Kennedy Boulevard, it was because today’s the Indian Day Parade.

I talked to the cops manning the area; they said that the starting point of the parade was on Stegman Street, and the people will celebrate at Lincoln Park, Jersey City.

Teens were also throwing powders at each other

The first part of the parade were people marching and dancing to the sound of Indian music, mostly teens and early 20’s wearing white tops splattered with various paint colors. They were also throwing powder at each other. Part of their culture? I am not sure.
