German Festival |
5th Avenue Between 63rd to 86th Streets New York, NY 10021 +1 646 334 7717 http://www.germanparadenyc.org |
This German parade was named after General Frederick von Steuben, a Prussian army officer who brought his services to General George Washington during the American Revolution. The parade takes place near the Yorkville section of Manhattan, once home to a large German immigrant population. Today the area is part of the trendy Upper East Side. Upwards of a million German-Americans turn out each year for the parade, which is held every September. Musical bands march and people in traditional garb walk along the route. Admission is free.
