The procession will take place between 12:45 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Sixth Avenue from West 40th Street to West 58th Street.
Three traffic lanes on the West side of Sixth Avenue will be closed starting 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, with the entire avenue closed at approximately 11 a.m.
The Metropolitcan Transportation Authority also announced several bus routes will also be diverted because of the procession.
