More than 1 million onlookers are estimated to witness the nation's largest celebration of Italian-American heritage on Monday during the 79th Annual Columbus Day Parade in Manhattan.
"Christopher Columbus was the first Italian to set foot in the Americas and, in doing so, he discovered the new world and changed the course of history," Rep. Andrew Garbarino posted to X, formerly Twitter. Now, on Columbus Day, we recognize his contributions and those of all Italian Americans. Happy Columbus Day! 🇮🇹🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/zcnNMmZxwV"Now, on Columbus Day, we recognize his contributions and those of all Italian Americans. Happy Columbus Day."On Columbus Day we celebrate the many contributions Italian Americans have made throughout our country’s history. I’m grateful to have so many Italian American constituents in New York’s 17th District.
Today, Columbus Day represents a day on which Italian Americans can honor their ancestors for traveling to the New World and succeeding on their own merit and, often, with little assistance.As an Italian-American, this holiday means so much to me. Today we celebrate the contributions of Italians to this great nation. May we continue to honor the rich culture and traditions of our Italian-American community. pic.twitter.
