The 9^th Annual Persian Parade was held along the 12 blocks of Madison Avenue in New York City on April 15th, to showcase the great Persian Culture. This event gathered a record cheering crowd of Iranian Americans, curious tourists, and mainstream Americans. Over 100 thousand people attended this year parade including many Iranians that traveled across the country and the ocean to be part of this majestic event. The colorful parade, with a large number of activities, music bands, dance ensembles, flags, floats, performers, marchers, and dignitaries, was again an impressive display of Persian Pride. Persian Parade Foundation Inc. would like to thank everyone that participated, attended, and supported this Parade. The Persian Parade Foundation greatly appreciates everyone's generous contributions.

Next year will be the Persian Parade 10^th Anniversary and we encourage everyone to join us to echo our Persian Pride and Identity across the world.
