The nation’s largest demonstration of cultural pride stretched from 43rd street to 79th street.
This year’s parade featured a special emphasis on climate change, ahead of the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Maria, which devastated the island. U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona served as Grand Marshal.
