"There is nothing like Carnival," Adams said. "We're excited about the music, the energy, the fashion, and fun that is associated with it. And this community knows how to throw on a great party, and we want to make sure that everyone can enjoy it in a very safe way." "This will be the largest police deployment of the year, even bigger than our deployments for New Year's Eve in Times Square, even bigger than our deployments for July 4," Tisch noted.

The parade in Crown Heights starts at Utica Avenue near Lincoln Terrace Park. It travels west on Eastern Parkway to Grand Army Plaza, ending near the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park. The roughly two-mile route is typically lined with more than a million spectators and has more than a dozen security checkpoints. Street closures for the festivities will begin Sunday and last through Monday, at the discretion of police, the New York City Department of Transportation says.

West 62nd Street will be closed from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays through August 3, 2025, for a building inspection from a boom truck.

Muni will operate on a Saturday schedule on Friday with extra service to and from the fireworks area between Aquatic Park and Fisherman's Wharf.
