Since 1981, many Indians in the United States of America have been coming together in New York as one on a parade to celebrate their identity as Indians, strengthen their social bonding and enable cultural exchange. Over the past years, the India Day Parade has grown in popularity and size. It is now decidedly the world’s largest parade by Indians abroad.

The event includes participants riding down Madison Avenue on floats and Indian food stands and cultural programs located adjacent to Madison Square Park.
