“So we feel that we are happy above all on this civil date in which the pride of Ecuador makes us feel. We feel that old women and men are overflowing with happiness, happy and grateful for the invitation given to us,” she insists.
For the first time, the president of Ecuador was the main merchant of the festival. In addition, local politicians and the town’s police band supported the community who, in addition to their culture, celebrated the independence of their country beforehand.
The parade will end with a full week of celebration of the community of more than 400 thousand Ecuadorians who live in our city.
Rita Suárez believes that this celebration will continue forever.
“The Ecuadorian community is definitely growing in this beautiful city of New York. I have been coming here for about 30 years to celebrate the Ecuadorian parade every year. “
Despite the rain, thousands came to celebrate the patriotism of Ecuador.
