BACKGROUND

Every 15th of August since 1981, Indian Americans celebrate Indian Independence day by hosting a parade. The NYC India Day Parade is the largest Indian Parade in America and is hosted by The Federation of Indian Association(FIA). The FIA, which came into being in 1970 is an umbrella organization meant to represent the diverse Indian population of NYC. Its mission is to promote and further the interests of its 500,000 members and to collaborate with other Indian cultural organization. The FIA acts as a mouth piece for the diverse Indian-Asian population in United States, and is focused on furthering the interests of this diverse community.

The parade begins on East 38th Street and continues down Madison Ave until it reaches 28th Street.  At the review stand on 28th Street, the grand marshal and various celebrities greet onlookers.
Throughout the parade, participants find themselves surrounded by the orange, white and green colors of the Indian flag. They can enjoy Indian food, merchandise booths, live dancing and music present at the Parade. After the parade is over, various cultural organizations and dance schools participate in program on 23rd Street and Madison Avenue until 6PM
