Expectations are rising in the Dominican diaspora regarding the possible participation of President Luis Abinader in the 2023 Dominican National Parade, which will be held in New York in August. However, the information has not been confirmed by the Presidency.
According to official sources from the branch of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) in New York, some media outlets have claimed that President Abinader will attend the Dominican stop in Manhattan on Sunday, August 13, which will take place on Sixth Avenue. The President’s presence at this celebration, which attracts the largest number of Dominicans, would be an opportunity to connect with the Dominican diaspora.
If President Abinader does attend the parade, it would be the first time in 41 years since the parade’s foundation that a Dominican president participates. Previous leaders of Dominican politics have attended the parade, but only as pre-candidates or candidates for the presidency.
Despite the absence of an official statement from the Presidency of the Republic, members of the ruling party in New York, communicators, and community members are confident that President Abinader will be present at the famous parade.
The parade, which celebrates the heritage, culture, and people of the Dominican Republic in New York, will be attended by prominent representatives of the city, including Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul, as well as state and federal legislators, city and state officials, and elected officials from all districts and suburbs. Renowned Dominican artists and celebrities from various fields are also expected to be present.
The organizers of the Dominican Day Parade, the event’s organizer, have confirmed the attendance of DJ Adoni – The Best Of DJ Adoni and the typical grouping The Royal Band, who will entertain the thousands of Dominicans who gather every year to celebrate their heritage.
Before the parade, the organizers will hold a beneficial scene on Friday, August 11, at the Greentree Country Club in the suburb of New Rochelle. The proceeds from this gala will be used to support various causes related to the Dominican community. Additionally, there will be an activity headed by mayors at Gracie Mansion in Manhattan, the official residence of New York’s first municipal officials.
The Dominican parade not only serves as a massive promotion for commercial companies, corporations, and institutions, but it also provides a platform to showcase the culture, history, customs, and art of the Dominican Republic.

Nonetheless, it is essential to acknowledge that participation in the parade does not guarantee immediate change or resolution to the challenges faced by the diaspora. It will require ongoing dialogue, collaboration, and sustained efforts from both the government and the community to bring about long-term improvements.
