    Hi I just wanted to double check the date for the parade because this Sunday is the 16th not the 17th. Does this mean the parade is on a Monday?

    I love the parade every year since I was a little boy. The only thing I want to say is if its possible can the gaps in between bands be a little more closer and can we have more performances in front of ennis francis houses on 124th 123rd street. For every year we’re passed by. Thankyou
