Welcome to the 88. Annual Pulaski Day Parade

The 88th annual Pulaski Day Parade will be held on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at 12:30 PM on Fifth Ave. in New York City. Read about the Parade’s program, route, and accompanying events.

This year’s Parade theme is The 1000th Anniversary of the Polish Kingdom.

Thousands of Polish Americans will be marching in the streets of New York, representing schools, youth and sports organizations, folk dance groups, businesses, and parishes of the Tri-State area. Representatives of the Polish government and distinguished community members will also pay tribute to our heritage. Please show your Polish-American pride by supporting this great event.

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. It 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!

    It’s unfortunate to see so much divisive American political propaganda at a Polish-American parade. All the divisive Trump flags are really off-putting to those of us who want to celebrate and unite around our shared Polish culture and heritage.

    My Matka has been marching in this parade since she was 9 years old.
    Since the first parade in 1937 until now at age 95 we had to retire her parade shoes. We her children marched with The Polish National Home in Harrison NJ Our Lady of Częstochowa RC Church (Harrison) Sto Lat! to those who are still participating. We wish we could watch on live stream. We wish we could be there. Love to all and God has Blessed you with good weather to spread His word to all! Enjoy and safe riding!

    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.

      Piękna polska tradycja na amerykańskiej ziemi. Biało-czerwone barwy rozpływające się po ulicach Manhattanu robią niesamowite wrażenie. “To jest właśnie on, ten piękny Nowy Jork…”
