NYC Persian Parade returns for 2025

The 2025 Persian Parade kicks off this Sunday in New York City, celebrating the rich culture, food, and heritage of the Iranian people—without any ties to politics or religion. Now in its 21st year, the event includes traditional music, dance, and food, from kabab koobideh to saffron ice cream. FOX 5’s Michelle Ross has a flavorful and festive preview from the Upper East Side.
