The 65th Annual Puerto Rican Day Parade returned to Manhattan after a two-year COVID-19 hiatus in epic fashion. Thousands of New Yorkers donned traditional Puerto Rican clothing and proudly waved their flags as Latino music reverberated throughout the city streets.
Kicking off on 44th Street and Fifth Avenue, Governor Kathy Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Attorney General Letitia James, and other elected officials cut a red ribbon signifying the return of the Puerto Rican Day parade.
Celebrities like Bad Bunny, Fat Joe and others rode on floats as marchers danced and flew the Puerto Rican flag proudly.
The parade concluded on 79th Street and Fifth Avenue.
