Large crowds and a sea of black, red and gold: Germans, Americans and German-Americans from near and far enjoyed the sun and fun of the Steuben Day Parade on Fifth Avenue. They clapped, marched and danced to the sounds of brass, drums and flutes that mixed with popular, folk, rock and jazz tunes. The German Consulate joined the celebration with a float representing "GermanyinNYC.org - The place for all things German in New York".

On September 19, the 52nd annual Steuben Parade, the biggest German-American procession in the United States and one of New York City’s most colorful parades, drew large crowds and a sea of black, red and gold to Fifth Avenue. It was the time of year again, when thousands of Germans and Americans of German origin came together with friends of the German-American community to celebrate their heritage and friendship. Joined by tourists and visitors from all over the world, with a lot of oompah and pride, Germans and Americans turned Fifth Avenue into “Fest” Avenue.
