Greeting from the General Chairman

Dear Friends!

Welcome to the German-American Steuben Parade!
Since 1957, German-Americans have celebrated their heritage and the friendship between the "alte Heimat" and their new home with one of the most colorful, most spectacular Parades in New York City.

In 2007, we have celebrated our 50th Anniversary with the biggest Parade ever. 50 groups from Germany, among them music and dance groups, carnival groups and marksmen, and, of course, groups wearing historic costumes or their traditional "tracht" were marching up Fifth Avenue. Hundreds of local German-American clubs joined them - as did some very special guests: Grand Marshal Dr. Henry Kissinger and Guest of Honor, German Ambassador Dr. Klaus Scharioth, were greeting tens of thousands of spectators.

We are now looking forward to our 51^st Annual German-American Steuben Parade. We start celebrating on May 4th, when we crown this year's Miss German-America, who will be Queen of this year's Parade. She will be joined by her court of Princesses and Junior Princesses. To apply for Queen or Princess, please contact Connie Rom at  (917) 209-5186. Click here to print out the Application Form.

September will see our fantastic Parade, our Annual Gala Benefit Banquet and many cultural events throughout German-American Friendship Month. For event information please check this website regularly.

I am looking forward to welcoming you at the 51st Annual German-American Steuben Parade or any of our other events. Come and celebrate German-American heritage, tradition and friendship with us.

Warm regards,

Lars Halter
