Columbus Day Parade
The October annual Columbus Day Parade is a vibrant tribute to Italian American culture and heritage, joyously celebrated on the streets of New York. Tricolor flags wave as marching bands and floats traverse the festive atmosphere. Traditional dances, authentic food, and folkloric performances captivate the attention of enthusiastic spectators along the route. Cultural celebrations, commemorative speeches, and artistic displays highlight the legacy and contributions of Italians to America. Though the 2025 Parade did not go forward as planned due to a weather-related State of Emergency, we celebrated the stories, achievements and traditions that are the very foundation of the Italian- American community, throughout the weekend.
We look forward to seeing you at the parade in 2026!
