About Us
Haitian Day Parade Inc
Haitian Day Parade Inc. was created to honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of Haitian people throughout history and across the globe. Our work began with the historic inaugural Haitian Day Parade on Central Park West in 2023, and continues as we deepen our roots in the community. We are a New York State registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, led by a dedicated planning committee and supported by elders, youth, artists, and cultural partners.
OUR WORK
Annual Parade
Our signature event, the Haitian Heritage Parade, takes place each June in Central Park West. This joyful, high-spirited celebration of Haitian culture includes live music, dance troupes, drummers, traditional dress, and community unity.
Cultural Engagement
From storytelling and music to visual art and youth programming, we support initiatives that pass down cultural knowledge, foster belonging and stimulate economy.
Creative Legacy Projects
We collaborate with artists and community leaders to produce events, installations, and public works rooted in Haitian heritage.
