New York´s most colorful parade brings together hundreds of marching groups from all over the United States and Germany.

While the Steuben Parade is celebrating German-American heritage and culture, it is not just an event for German-Americans but rather a wonderful opportunity to enjoy and participate in a great parade while making the public aware of Rotary , our Clubs and our work in the community as well as internationally.

We are given the wonderful opportunity to march as a united "Rotary team" as a part of the "Metropolitan Division" or "6th Division". All groups in that division assemble on 68th Str. between Park & Lex. Ave at 12 noon.
The Division Marshal is Mr. Fred Volk, who will meet you and get you in the correct spot, which - in our case - will be following some German Language and other mostly young cultural groups as well as a group of Jewish German-Americans. Our group will be directly followed by a float sponsored by the German Consulate hosting singer Melina, known for her performance in recent years.
There is no cost to march in the parade & no special dress code. Please feel free to bring your family and friends to join us.

The Steuben Parade ends with a huge Oktoberfest in the Summer Stage area of Central Park.
