The Queens Hispanic Parade ~ Desfile Hispano de Queens celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month, and the diversity, traditions, folklore and unity of the Queens Hispanic community.
Americans celebrate their Hispanic roots in the 21 Spanish-speaking countries with marchers showing Latin music, dance, traditional costumes, floats, food, and more.
Theme: Unidos Somos Más (United We Are More) at 37th Avenue from 69th to 86th St Jackson Heights, Queens Sun, October 4 2026 | 12pm.
Originally scheduled for Sun, September 27, 2026, the parade has been moved to Sunday, October 4, 2026 because of the big storm hitting NYC this weekend.
What we’re doing is joining the Queens Dominican Parade scheduled on that day. That’s great because Dominicans have long believed in the Pan-Latin concept of us as one people.
Nearly 100 cultural, civic, and business groups are expected to march.

This year’s theme is right on. Together we are strong. It’s worth noting that our country, the United States of America, has the world’s second-largest Spanish speaking population, after Mexico. Somos muy orgulloso para mantener la idioma de nuestros padres. It even makes us better Americans.
And it’s really important this year for American citizens to vote for members of Congress who represent all of us.
Latinos have more political power than ever. Two years ago, many of us voted for a strongman character who hates Latinos and all people of color.
It’s time to take our country back by voting because we are Americans too.
