Updated May 31, 2026, 5:09 p.m. ET
Thousands of Jewish and Israeli Americans participate in the annual Israel Day Parade, the world's largest pro-Israel parade, on May 31, 2026, in New York City. This year's event takes place under heightened security with hundreds of police, K-9 units, and undercover officers patrolling the route up 5th Avenue. New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani did not attend the parade, the first mayor in recent history not to do so.
