The full-day celebration—parade and fair—is themed on Jewish unity and pride.
The Great Parade is based on the legacy of Mesibos Shabbos and Lag B’Omer parades held on Eastern Parkway since the 1940s.

Until what time is it?
Too bad the weather didn’t cooperate.
The parade was amazing and inspiring. The weather was great, it wasn’t raining during the entire parade, and it was cool and lovely. The atmosphere was one of real ahavas Yisroel, Moshiachm and pride in being Jewish – you could feel it in the air. There were so many types of people there and everyone was glad to be with each other. We were so happy to see and feel the impact of the Rebbe on the world. Many years ago the parades were smaller, with less participants, and before that, there weren’t even any parades. The frum world should realize what the Rebbe has done for them – they feel proud to be Jewish and frum and to pass that on to other people – not something that was commonly felt throughout the Jewish world 50 years ago. And now we have the ability to directly communicate the idea that Moshiach is coming, and coming soon, and we realize how much we want him to come…the more we do mitzvos with the intention to bring Moshiach and to make the world a place for Moshiach and Hashem, the faster he will come, especially in those mitzvos pertaining to learning about the inyan of Moshiach and Geula and to ahavas Yisroel. Yashar koach to those who planned it and participated in it!
