A photo of the Dominican Day Parade in New York City, a major location of emigration of Dominicans

The Dominican Day Parade in New York City started in 1982 as a small celebration with concerts and cultural events in Washington Heights section of Manhattan. Organized by Dominican American community leaders, the parade which is held annually each August on Sixth Avenue, has grown to become a showcase of national pride with thousands of participants and spectators. Similar parades, but of lesser scale, are held every year in Patterson, New Jersey, Boston, and along the Grand Concourse in The Bronx.
