THE 3-MINUTE INTERVIEW: Loughton Sargeant

Sargeant is executive director and a founding member of the D.C. Caribbean Carnival (www.dccaribbeancarnival.org), now in its 19th year of operation. The parade on Saturday runs along Georgia Avenue from Kansas Avenue to Bryant Street and, keeping with the Trinidadian tradition, participants will once again don mud, along with colorful costumes. What makes yours different than other parades?

We have a unique product here where everyone can come out and have a great time in a safe event and truly represent all that is Caribbean. We’re talking about English-, French- and Spanish-speaking Caribbean all in one day.
