The Colombian Day Parade marches along Northern Blvd from 69th Street in Jackson Heights to 89th Street in Corona.
This annual celebration marks Colombian Independence Day and promises a day filled which was filled with cultural pride and community festivities.
The roots of Colombian Independence Day trace back to a pivotal moment in history. Amidst colonial rule, Latin America, including Colombia, faced oppression under a strict caste system imposed by Spanish rulers.
The struggle for independence gained momentum in the early 19th century, fueled by events like Napoleon’s invasion of Spain and the imprisonment of King Ferdinand VII.
Leaders like Simón Bolívar rallied the people in their fight for freedom, culminating in the historic Battle of Boyacá in 1819.
The Colombian flag, with its bold yellow, blue, and red colors, symbolizes the nation’s rich resources, seas, rivers, and the blood shed by patriots in the quest for independence.
This symbolism resonates deeply during the Colombian Day Parade, where the community gathers to honor their heritage and commemorate the sacrifices of their ancestors.
Beyond its historical significance, the Colombian Day Parade in Jackson Heights and Corona is a testament to the vibrant Colombian community’s unity and pride.
The parade route showcases traditional Colombian music, dance, and attire and features local businesses and organizations that contribute to the neighborhood’s cultural tapestry.
