113 - DETALLES del desfile panameño en Brooklyn 2023

HISTORY
Day of Independence Committee of Panamanians in New York, Inc. (DICPNY) was formed by Mr. Mauricio Alleyne in 1995 to celebrate and spread Panamanian culture, tradition, and folklore, and to commemorate Panama’s separation from Colombia, which tookplace on November 3, 1903.
This historic moment has been celebrated annually for the past 25 years with an exhilarating parade in Brooklyn, which begins on Franklin Avenue and Bergen Street, and heads south to Eastern Parkway, culminating in a street fair on Classon Avenue between President Street and Eastern Parkway. The fair, which now attracts over 30,000 people, features displays of arts and crafts as well as Panamanian-Caribbeanand Latin American food specialties.
​
Over the years, the Panamanian Parade has grown tremendously, embracing the participation of Panamanian nationalists, both here in the US and from Panama, as well as other nationalities, elected officials, community leaders, and other dignitaries locally and across the United States. The members of DICPNY continue to work tirelessly to promote, enhance, and expand the parade not only to bring Panamanians together, but to also promote friendship, love, and brotherhood.
