Revelers at the annual Caribbean festival in Hyde Park celebrated with music and food Saturday.
Shadawn Vernon balances a water bottle on her head while dancing during the Chicago Caribbean Carnival on the Midway Plaisance Saturday, Aug. 19, 2023 in the Hyde Park neighborhood.
And as Alberto Patt sold Belizean cuisine to the festival goers filling Midway Plaisance Park in Hyde Park Saturday afternoon, he noticed that Caribbean cultures were mixing, too. It’ also a busy day for the UnBelizeAble catering business his family runs. They were on track to sell over 1,000 panades – an empanada-like fried savory pastry with a corn flour dough filled with fish, he said.
While many opted for less clothing amid the beating sun and Carnival theme, Crystal LaJuene sold more.
