The Pulaski Day Parade is a parade held annually since 1937 on Fifth Avenue in New York City to commemorate Casimir Pulaski, a Polish hero of the American Revolutionary War. The parade runs from 35th to 54th Streets passing by St. Patrick's Cathedral. It is held 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. The parade features Polish dancers, Polish Supplementary schools and organizations, Polish soccer teams and their mascots, scouts of the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association, and Polish Government ambassadors and representatives.6
The Parade was first held in 1937. Its founder was Francis J. Wazeter, president of the Downstate New York division of the Polish American Congress. There was no parade in 1942 nor 2020.
It is one of the oldest ethnic parades in NYC.
