We'll be in NYC on Columbas Day. Is there a parade that day? If so, where?
TIA

Yes, there is a Columbus Day parade in NYC. It's on Fifth Avenue between Times Square and 72nd St. It's big. I'm ashamed b/c I live right by NYC and I work there and I've never been to the Columbus Day parade! It should be fun.

You know I was about to respond yes and then stopped because I got confused and thought it was to close to the Thanksgiving day parade. I have only been to a ST Paddys day parade I hate crowds. Only reason I went was to see my friend play his bag pipes

Yes, the St. Patrick's parade, and the Thanksgiving parade, those are the biggies. Frank, I was sure you would have been to the Columbus Day parade!

I marched in the Columbus Day Parade when I was in high school....all the Parochial schools sent their bands and students....it was fun and while not as big as the St Patrick day Parade, it is a nice parade celebrating Italian Heritage.
