Revelers gathered early Saturday morning at Central Broward Regional Park to celebrate J’ouvert, part of South Florida’s Carnival celebrations happening this month. Attendees dressed the part, sporting festival wear, fishnets, and white getups meant to be splattered with color.

Whether you were there getting pelted with paint or just want to see what you missed, here’s a look at the action.
