The highlight of New York Tartan Week, the Parade is quite the spectacle, featuring thousands of participants, including pipe bands, clans, and the ‘Celtic Canine Brigade’. The Grand Marshal this year will be actor Sam Heughan, best known for starring in Outlander.
Each group is expected to be in position at their designated spot on 44th or 45th Street at 13:00. The Parade steps off at 14:00. Confirmation of the designated spot will be confirmed in due course.
Please register by Wednesday, 8 April.
