National Puerto Rican Day Parade

New York City’s National Puerto Rican Day Parade is America’s biggest cultural celebration. It marches up Fifth Avenue on the second Sunday in June.

The Parade attracts about 1.5 million people every year. That’s as many people as there are in Puerto Rico, so the Parade isn’t just America’s biggest cultural celebration, it is the world’s biggest celebration of Puerto Rican culture.

¡Orgulloso Boricua, tu lo sabes! 🇵🇷

The second week of June is Puerto Rico Week in New York City so there are many more Puerto Rican cultural celebrations around the Parade.

National Puerto Rican Day Parade Events

The Parade is actually a series of events:

  • Scholarships
  • 152nd Street Cultural Festival
  • Golf Outing
  • Jíbara Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral
  • Gala
  • Parade

Help Our Youth Get an Education

The main purpose of the Parade is to share our culture with our children and to raise funds for the Parade’s scholarship program nprdpinc.org. Please give generously because young people represent our future. Support Puerto Rican culture at nprdpinc.org
