The Philippine Independence Day Parade or Philippine Day Parade in New York City, the world's largest outside Manila,[1] takes place annually in the United States along Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. The parade is held on the first Sunday in June.
Its main purpose is to create awareness of Philippine culture and to raise funds for charity projects in the Philippines and the United States.[2] The Philippine Independence Day Parade is increasingly being attended by both American politicians and Filipino celelebrities as well as diplomatic officials who are keenly aware of the significant and increasing political and economic power exerted by the Filipino diaspora in New York and neighboring New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.[3][4]
Philippine Independence, as a celebration in America, has gained cultural awareness prominently after the 21st century began. Earlier generations of Filipino immigrants did not celebrate Philippine Independence in significant ways. Philippine Independence Day is now widely celebrated among Filipinos in the United States and is now a major event for many Filipino Americans to rekindle their roots and heritage and to commemorate the June 1898 presentation of the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain.
In many areas where there are significant Filipino American populations in the United States celebrate Philippine Independence in the month of June. The largest among Philippine Independence celebrations in the United States takes place in New York City every first Sunday of June. The Philippine Independence Day Parade in New York City attracts over 200,000 people.
The 2024 Philippine Independence Day Parade in New York City will take place on June 2, 2024 at Madison Avenue, following the tradition of the celebration being on the first Sunday of June. There was no parade in 2020 and 2021 as it went on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
