About 02

South Asian Unity Parade Inc. is a premier non-profit community organization rooted in the most culturally diverse neighborhood in the world—Jackson Heights, Queens, New York. Founded on the principles of mutual respect, harmony, and cultural pride, our organization serves as a bridge connecting the vibrant South Asian diaspora with the broader American tapestry.

Every year, we bring the streets of New York City to life with a spectacular celebration of music, dance, traditional attire, and unity. While our parade proudly shines a special spotlight on the rich heritage of Bangladeshi culture—celebrating its resilient history, traditional arts, and community milestones—it stands as a grand, collective platform for all South Asian nations to march shoulder-to-shoulder as one family.

Our Mission

To cultivate, celebrate, and preserve South Asian cultural heritage in the United States while fostering deep community solidarity, civic engagement, and cross-cultural friendship among all South Asian diaspora communities.

Our Vision

To build a harmonious future where different backgrounds are celebrated, cultural legacies are passed down proudly to the youth, and the collective voice of the South Asian community contributes strongly to the cultural and social fabric of New York City.
