WELCOME to our 46th Annual Parade!
The 46th Annual Parade will be on Thursday, OCTOBER 31, 2019 at 7 p.m
In 2017 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 embraced life in its fullest. In 2018 our Grand Marshall, MACHINE DAZZLE, dazzled the world! And so did ALL of you! And now … 2019! We are excited to welcome this year’s Grand Marshall, Zohra, The Giant Spider (and creator Master Puppeteer Basil Twist) leading the way. There are many ways to participate (see below)! We look forward to seeing you soon!
March IN the 2019 Parade!
Join 100’s of PUPPETS, 35 BANDS, DANCERS, 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!
