The 2026 New York Greek Independence Day Parade - 205/250

On March 25th, New York becomes the crossroads of two revolutions — a vibrant celebration of history, faith, and democracy. This year, the celebrations carry special symbolism as we commemorate the 205th anniversary of the Greek Revolution of 1821 alongside the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution of 1776. The shared theme, “205/250,” highlights the historic bonds and common values of the two nations. Though separated by time, the two revolutions are ideologically connected through the same enduring principles: liberty, democracy, and justice. The 205/250 theme underscores the mutual respect and lasting friendship between Greece and the United States. Greek and American flags wave side by side, sending a powerful message of unity and shared historical purpose.
