Thousands of people will line Fifth Avenue in New York City for the annual Columbus Day<\/a> Parade on Monday.<\/p>\n

The parade runs from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. between 47th and 72nd streets. Parade officials say it is the world’s largest celebration of Italian-American heritage and culture, with more than 100 groups participating and more than 1 million viewers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The parade will celebrate the contributions of Italian Americans to the nation’s history, culture and achievements with marching bands, floats, musical performances and ambassadors, organizers said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The grand marshal for the 82nd annual parade is Ray Dalio, the founder and mentor of Bridgewater Associates, a philanthropist and author. His son will represent him in the festivities, along with Leandro Rizzuto, a U.S. ambassador, and Evelyn Grabiere, a doctor and Columbia professor. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2025 grand marshal, Joe Moglia, will also be in the opening of the parade along with other honorees. Last year’s parade was canceled<\/a> due to a nor’easter that brought high winds and heavy rain to the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spectators can expect marching units from the NYPD, FDNY, DSNY and other public service organizations. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is also scheduled to participate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other participants include sports coaches, players, school marching bands, university groups, singers and dancers. There will even be a dog riding on a Vespa.<\/p>\n

The annual Columbus Day Mass will be held before the parade at 9:30 a.m. at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thousands of people will line Fifth Avenue in New York City for the annual Columbus Day Parade on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":370937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,24,55,54,56],"class_list":["post-370936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=370936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/370937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=370936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=370936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=370936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
