Hispanic people make up a substantial percentage of the population of New York City, and Puerto Ricans are one of the largest ethnic groups in the city. The Puerto Rican Day Parade, held on the second Sunday in June, attracts about 3 million spectators. It is the largest gathering of its kind for Puerto Ricans in the world. This spirited parade meanders down Fifth Avenue between 44th and 86th streets, and local and Puerto Rican entertainers, politicians and sports figures all take part. Free admission.
