Ethnic parade

Being a super multi ethnic city, New York must host countless ethnic parades. These images dating from August of 1985 are from the Dominican Day Parade. People had a lot of fun both as parade participants and as spectators. This is one more item that makes the Big Apple so special and so unique. It must be stated that being still at it's infancy, this parade went up 6th Avenue officially names Avenue of the Americans. No "real" New Yorker will ever call it that preferring the original name of 6th Avenue.
