African American Day Parade 2008
September 21, 2008
African American Day Parade 2007
The African-American Parade is a huge, colourful and noisy affair. Crowds pack out the wide boulevards of Harlem, one of New York's busiest African-American areas, as floats move along the streets pumping out a variety of music from soca to reggae, ragga and soul.
The route follows 111th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard, proceeding to 142nd Street, then right to Fifth Avenue. With dazzling costumes, funky grooves and great dancers, this is an amazing street party.
Grand Marshals
Governor David Paterson, David Dinkins, Rev. Al Sharpton, Dr. Adelaide Sanford,
Congressman Charles Rangel, Comptroller William Thompson, Lillian Roberts

111th Street & Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. To 142nd Street

In popular culture 'The Bronx' has often symbolized violence, decay, and urban ruin. In fact, there are guidebooks that say you must never go to the Bronx! Sheer ignorance, that is all we have to say! Interactive Bronx map
