Wave your flags and honk your horns, the NYC Puerto Rican Day Parade is back this Sunday, June 12, 2022 after a 2-year hiatus due to Covid.
This will be the parade’s 65th year, with more than 1.5 million people expected to line the streets of NYC dancing, eating, and celebrating the heritage and culture of Puerto Rico.
This year’s parade is expected to be bigger than ever, with 38 floats and 150 groups marching down 5th Avenue from 43rd street to 79th street.
The parade will be led by the grand marshal Miguel Cardona, the current U.S. Secretary of Education; King of the parade will be Nicky Jam, while the Godfather and Godmother will be Fat Joe and Angie Martinez.
