The National Puerto Rican
Day Parade is a New York tradition that unites New Yorkers
as it celebrates the outstanding contributions of the Puerto
Rican people to the history of New York City, as well as to
our City's diversity.
The National Puerto Rican Day Parade started in 1995; the
Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City began in 1958. The
parade features floats sponsored by businesses, singing, dancing
and marching. Last year there were over 100,000 marchers and
3 million spectators at the parade.
