The Puerto Rican Day Parade (also known as the National Puerto Rican Day Parade) takes place annually in the United States along 5th Avenue in New York City. Established in 1958, the parade is held on the second Sunday in June, in honor of the 3.2 million inhabitants of Puerto Rico and all people of Puerto Rican birth or heritage residing on the U.S. mainland. The parade attracts many celebrities, both Puerto Rican and of Puerto Rican heritage, and many politicians from the Tri-State area. It is the only Latino heritage parade that takes place on iconic 5th Avenue and is the oldest and longest running Latino heritage parade in all of the city. - Source: Wikipedia
