WELCOME to our 45th Annual Parade!

The 45th Annual Parade will be on Wednesday, OCTOBER 31, 2018 at 7 p.m

Last year it was an honor to walk with Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill deBlasio as the Parade showed New York in its vibrance and resilience. There was an atmosphere of LOVE–not fear– as we honored those who passed by embracing life in its fullest.

March IN the 2018 Parade!

Only those in costume are welcome to join… hundreds of PUPPETS, 35 BANDS of Different Types of Music, DANCERS and ARTISTS, and thousands of other New Yorkers in costumes of their own creation in …the nation’s most wildly creative public participatory event in the greatest city in the world! For ONLY those in costume is on 6th Avenue at Canal Street between 6:30pm and 8:30pm.

Alert! ONLY enter the line-up on 6th Ave. at Canal Street! View Map
