Dance Parade's 20th Anniversary event, titled "The Beat Goes On."  Over 10,000 dancers, performing dozens of styles of dance, will participate in the largest dance parade in the world.  The joyous parade is attended annually by over 100k New Yorkers, cheering on the performers in celebration of dance in all its genres.  The celebration kicks off at 12 noon from 17th St. & 6th Ave., and 150 groups then dance their way down Avenue of the Americas, enchanting the crowd with global dances and music from Africa, South America, Asia and Europe, alongside urban styles such as Voguing, Breaking, Popping, and House.  Beloved partner dances are not forgotten, with the Lindy Hop, Ballroom, Salsa, Hustle, Swing, and more.  The family-friendly day comes to a grand finale with an interactive Festival in Tompkins Square Park, where stages have been set up for full performances, free dance lessons, and mixing and mingling.  2026 Grand Marshals are Christine Jowers, Joan Myers Brown, Timmy Regisford, and Jeff Selby.
