In late July 2026, the Dominican community in New York staged a major cultural celebration in the Bronx. The 37th Gran Parada Dominicana honored Dr. Puro Fajardo for his work promoting Dominican culture abroad and named broadcaster Roberto Neris patron of honor. The parade, dedicated to the province of San Cristóbal, was scheduled for 26 July on the Grand Concourse and attracted thousands of participants.

A few weeks later, the community’s focus shifted to Manhattan for the 44th annual Dominican Parade on 9 August. The event, themed “Identity and Culture,” featured Dr. Ramón Tallaj as Grand Marshal, a legacy award for Goya Foods, and radio personality Frederick Martínez as King of the Parade. Performers and community groups again gathered along Sixth Avenue, underscoring the diaspora’s ongoing effort to celebrate and preserve its heritage across New York City.
