      About New York Latin Parades

      Parades originated as religious and military processions. Latin parades are influenced by Carnival, patron saint festivals, New Orleans funeral processions, and Cuban Guaracha musical theatre traditions which would carry on into the streets

      Guaracha was a naughty Cuban theater tradition that was often performed in bars. Think conga line. In Puerto Rico, guaracha evolved into the Parranda Christmas caroling tradition. Today the word means to have a wild party.

      Many Latin parades end at a street fair.

      Fifth Avenue and Lower Broadway are among the world’s most famous parade locations. In Manhattan, parades also march on Sixth Avenue, Madison Avenue and Central Park West.

      The National Puerto Rican Day Parade is the biggest cultural celebration in the United States.
