NYC to hold first Asian American and Pacific Islander parade
May 12, 2022 18:30 pm
New York City will hold its first-ever Asian American and Pacific Islander Cultural and Heritage Parade in Manhattan this weekend, Mayor Eric Adams and event organizers announced Wednesday. The parade is set for Sunday at 10:45 a.m. on Sixth Avenue from West 44th Street to West 55th Street. It comes a day after another first for the city: a Japan Day parade to celebrate Japanese Americans and their heritage, scheduled for Saturday at 1 p.m. on Manhattan’s Central Park West. The two parades are being held during Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, and amid activism following a wave of anti-Asian attacks during the coronavirus pandemic.
