June 17th, 2008 | Other Contributions, German Heritage in the U.S. |51st Annual German-American Steuben Parade
Saturday, September 20th, 2008 - Noon
Fifth Avenue, New York City
Every year in September, German-Americans from all over the US come together in New York City to celebrate their heritage, the achievements of German settlers in the US, as well as the enduring friendship between the two countries. Led by three Grand Marshals - Hollywood Star Ralf Möller, New York Stock Exchange CEO Duncan Niederauer, and “Candy Bomber” and Berlin Airlift veteran Col. Gail Halverson - the Parade will bring hundreds of music and dance groups to world-famous Fifth Avenue. There will be Trachten groups and carnival masks, historic groups, as well as marksmen. After the Parade, the crowd moves into Central Park for the Annual German-American Friendship Party, where New Yorkers get as close as it gets to a real Oktoberfest without actually flying to Munich.
Very nice information and well laid out site with some great family tree info. Thanks for this.
I’m still tracing my family back if anyone has info of any Winn family members from High Wycombe get in touch!
