Since 1937, the Polish-American community of New York has honored General Casimir Pulaski, a Polish aristocrat and American Revolutionary War Hero during the month of October. The Parade is held annually 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.

Thousands of Polish-Americans march in the Parade representing Polish-American organizations, schools, youth, sports, and dance groups, businesses and parishes of the Tri-State area. The Parade is also attended by Representatives of the Polish government and distinguished members of the community.
