NEW YORK (WABC) -- The National Puerto Rican Day Parade will march up New York's Fifth Avenue on Sunday, June 14th, 2026, as part of one of the United States' largest cultural celebrations.
Nearly one million spectators will line Fifth Avenue for the festivities and millions more will watch on Channel 7 and wherever you stream ABC 7 New York starting at noon on Sunday. Eyewitness News' own David Novarro, Joe Torres, and The View's Sunny Hostin will host the parade. Eyewitness News reporter Sonia Rincon will be reporting along the parade route.
This year's theme is "Somos Más Que 100x35," which celebrates the extraordinary, outsized contributions of Puerto Ricans, both within the Puerto Rican archipelago and throughout the global diaspora, that have made and continue to make across all areas of human achievement. It is not about a single moment or individual, but instead about a collective truth that spans generations and continues to shape our global impact.
This year's honorees include singer Daddy Yankee, who will serve as Grand Marshal, and actor Anthony Ramos, who was part of the original Broadway cast of "Hamilton."
Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez and jazz musician Charlie Sepulveda will also be recognized with lifetime achievement awards.
Watch the 69th annual National Puerto Rican Day Parade on Sunday, June 14 at 12 p.m. on Channel 7 and wherever you stream ABC 7 New York.
