Korean Parade & Festival

The Korean American Association of Greater New York's Korean Parade & Festival returns Saturday, October 3, 2026. The parade runs noon to 2 p.m. south on Sixth Avenue from 38th to 27th Streets. The street festival runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on 32nd Street in Koreatown.

Parade crowds usually gather for floats, marching bands, and pungmul drum troupes. After the route, 32nd Street turns into food booths, stage shows, a mass bibimbap demonstration, and K-pop sets.

Herald Square and 34th Street–Penn Station put you close to both. Claim sidewalk space early for the parade, then walk to 32nd Street once the floats pass.
