This year, The Columbian Foundation had yet again the honor of participating in the 2024 Columbus Day Parade in New York City—a vibrant celebration of Italian American pride, culture, and heritage. Members of the Foundation gathered to enjoy a day filled with food, drink, music, and camaraderie, riding together on The Columbian Foundation float through the heart of Manhattan. It was a beautiful day of unity and tradition, as we proudly showcased our Italian American heritage alongside the larger community.
As we paraded through the streets, surrounded by the sounds of joyful Italian music and the sights of the Italian flag waving high, our hearts were filled with immense pride. The day was a reminder of the resilience, contributions, and shared values that define our community. From young families to longtime members, everyone in attendance felt the powerful connection that binds us together as Italian Americans.
We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors and donors, and our 2024 Columbian Foundation Honorees whose generous support made this unforgettable experience possible. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to celebrate Italian American heritage on Columbus Day and to be part of such a cherished tradition in New York City.
Please enjoy the photo gallery below, capturing some of the special moments from the day—scenes of friendship, laughter, and the vibrant spirit of Italian American pride. We hope these images bring you as much joy as they brought us and remind us all of the importance of our heritage and the values of The Columbian Foundation.
Grazie mille to everyone who joined us for this memorable day. We look forward to many more celebrations together!
