The Pulaski Day Parade is a parade held annually since 1937 on Fifth Avenue in New York City to commemorate Kazimierz Pułaski (spelled Casimir Pulaski in English), a Polish hero of the American Revolutionary War. It is held on the first Sunday of October and closely coincides with the October 11th General Pulaski Memorial Day, a national observance of his death at the Siege of Savannah. The parade features Polish dancers, Polish soccer teams and their mascots, Polish Scouts (ZHP), and Polish school ambassadors and representatives.
