Caribbean Carnival

“It’s been four years since we’ve been on the road,” DJ Raymond Toussaint said from his perch above a wall of loudspeakers on the 18-wheel sound truck, which led the D’Horizon masquerade band as its members approached the judging stand for Boston’s 50th Caribbean Carnival.

Celebrating a return to normalcy after several years of canceled or modified events, the 49th annual Caribbean Carnival returned to Blue Hill Avenue with music, costumes and a slew of food vendors in Franklin Park.
