The parade, normally held on a Sunday in June, honors the Puerto Rican-American community. In 2006 over 80,000 people marched and more than 2 million lined the parade route. The parade is always attended by many Puerto Rican celebrities and major New York politicans.
The parade marches along Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 86th Street, the normal route for many New York City parades.
In the past decade, the parades were marred by numerous incidents of sexual assault and violence. In 2006, however, the New York Police Department reported no major incidents.
