Parade | Annual German-American Culture Celebration


This parade wasfounded in 1957 by German immigrants and German-Americans -- one of the largest ancestral groups living in the United States, who wanted to keep the traditions of their homeland alive. Today, the parade is led by cadets representing the German Language Club of the Military Academy of West Point. It'ss filled with German groups wearing their traditional costumes, spectacular floats, marching bands, dancers, clubs, and organizations from across the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Canada. Miss German-America and her court are crowned every May, leading the parade. To this day, the parade is still considered one of the most colorful Parades in New York, thanks to our dynamic floats, representation, and colorful cultural displays. This year, the Grand Marshalls are Till Knorn (German General Consul in New York) and Gerhard Rossbach (entrepreneur and cultural ambassador).
