Philippine Independence Day Parade NYC 2024

The Philippine Independence Day Parade 2024 is the world’s largest Philippine Independence Day Parade outside of the Philippines. The first parade was in 1990. It helps to raise funds for Filipino charities. Filipinos and friends come from all over the Northeast to celebrate.

Philippines Independence Day celebrates Emilio Aguinaldo’s declaration of independence from Spain, on June 12, 1898. Filipinos aren’t Latin in the traditional sense, but the experience of colonization left us with many shared cultural traditions.
