The Xacobeo 2027 makes its way to New York with the help of the Galician community

The 62nd annual Hispanic Day Parade took place on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue in New York on Sunday, October 11. Despite inclement weather, participants from Spain and approximately twenty Latin American countries showcased traditional music, costumes, and cultural displays along the parade route.

A notable feature of this year's event was the participation of the local Galician community, which utilized the parade to promote the Xacobeo 2027 Holy Year. By incorporating floats and symbols related to the pilgrimage, organizers aimed to increase awareness and interest in the event among the American public, a key demographic for pilgrimage travel.
