Fifth Avenue, New York, USA, October 13 2014 – Participants march during the 70th anniversary of the annual Columbus Day parade . The annual event celebrates the day that Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas in 1492.
The annual Columbus Day Parade, organized by the Columbus Citizens Foundation and presented this year by the Conair Corporation, is the world’s largest celebration of Italian-American heritage and culture and the strongest representation of Italian pride, harkening back to the year 1929 when the Parade was first started. As Grand Marshal, Mr. Bisignano led over 120 groups consisting of nearly 30 marching bands, over 25 enormous floats and hundreds of performance groups up Fifth Avenue in a non-stop parade of family entertainment and Italian-American dignity.
“On Columbus Day, we will celebrate Italian-American heritage and culture, recognizing the significant achievements and contributions Italian-Americans have made to the United States since they entered this land of freedom and opportunity so many hundreds of years ago,” said Mr. Bisignano. “Being named Grand Marshal of the esteemed Columbus Day Parade event is an honor I will not soon forget.”
