The Boston Caribbean American Association (BCAA) held its inaugural block party in Dorchester at Harvard Commons last month during Caribbean Heritage Month. The organization, which had its launch in April, is looking to coordinate with community leaders, concert promoters, and elected officials to have a year-round presence in the growing Caribbean American community – which is centered in Dorchester and Mattapan.
The Block Party held on June 8 is meant to be an annual tradition. The group envisions also hosting civic events, debates, and community building programs.
