Dance Parade 2026

 

This was the 20th year of the Dance Parade.



I stumbled on it by accident a few years ago,



and was very impressed with the wide range of costumes on display.




The dancing is lovely too.




You get a real sense of the melting pot that is NYC when watching.




Costumes, music and dance all melded into unique patterns.



After several days of cool weather, it was a balmy 78 degrees and sunny for the parade.




Maybe a bit too warm - especially for the dancers.




As with all NYC parades, gaps in the action can be a bit tedious.



But with visuals this pretty it’s worth sticking it out for at least a while.
