IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL GROUPS
IN THE STEUBEN PARADE – NEW YORK CITY
(DEUTSCHE VERSION S. ZWEITE UMSCHLAGSEITE)
We are excited to welcome you today on Fifth Avenue to march in our Parade. For over fifty
years, the German-American Steuben Parade has been the most public display of GermanAmerican Friendship in the United States. Traditionally, the parade celebrates German-American
culture and tradition as well as the historic achievements of many German immigrants. The
Steuben Parade showcases the rich history of German-Americans in the United States each year
and preserves our heritage, culture, language and traditions well into the future. Over the last few
years, we have put a much stronger focus on presenting our tens of thousands of spectators with a
friendly contemporary picture of Germany and German- American friendship.
It is extremely important that all marchers follow these rules from the parade to make sure
that the Parade is most enjoyable for all involved.
- Assemble in your designated area at the time provided
- Listen to your Division Marshal, they are dedicated parade volunteers who will help you find
the correct place in the line-up and coordinate all the groups.
- Find your position in the parade according to the number given in the marching order and
do not leave your position in the parade to march in another spot.
- Follow the group, float, car, etc. in front of you and keep a short distance. Do not let a gap
open up. If you are held up, please try to close the gap by walking a little faster without running.
Larger groups are asked to walk in rows of 4 to 5 people.
- Listen to the Parade Volunteers along Fifth Avenue.
- Do not eat or drink during the Parade.
- Do not make or take any cell phone calls during the Parade.
Music Groups:
Please play for the entire duration of the Parade with the full band- not only percussion. This is
especially important when passing the Grand Stands.
General Info on Marching:
The Parade marches up Fifth Avenue to 85th Street. Here your group can take an immediate left
in to Central Park and make its way south to the Oktoberfest.
Dress Code:
Please wear traditional tracht or clothing from your group. Please do not wear outfits from groups
you are not marching with if they are in a different section of the parade. If you do not have this
please wear your club uniform or shirt with slacks.
Group Leaders:
Please share all of this information with your entire group. German-Americans are proud to stage
one of the most colorful and entertaining ethnic parades in New York City. We want to take this
opportunity to look our best and leave a great impression.
Now, enjoy the Steuben Parade – have a great time on Fifth Avenue!!
