Since 1937, the Polish-American community of New York has honored General Casimir Pulaski, a Polish aristocrat, and American Revolutionary War Hero during the month of October. The Parade is held annually on the first Sunday of October and closely coincides with the October 11th General Pulaski Memorial Day, a national observance of his death at the Siege of Savannah.

We look forward to celebrating with you on Fifth Avenue!

    I remember going to the Pulaski Day parade in the late 1940s with my parents and grandfather who came to the USA from Warsaw in 1902. We would have tea in this tea room on north east corner of W. 42th St and 5th Ave that was on the second floor of a small building with big windows that looked out onto 5th Avenue. We drank tea while we watched the parade pass by on a beautiful sunny day. Jerry Ceasar Przybylowicz.

    The Pulaski Day Parade on October 7, 2018 was once again a very happy event , honoring the 100’th Anniversary of Poland’s Independence. I as a proud Polish-American feel honored to have grown up in this country and will be forever great full . Polish -Americans are hard working people that know and remember their history , sometimes that is mistaken for being push overs that is so far from the truth . Thank you to all the committees that work annually to organize this spectacular event , with out problems and violence.
