CELEBRATE ISRAEL PARADE TO MARK 50TH ANNIVERSARY

The 2014
Celebrate Israel Parade, the world’s largest public gathering honoring the
State of Israel, will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a
magnificent family-friendly parade Sunday,
June 1, from 11 AM to 4 PM, up Fifth Avenue from 57th to 74th
Streets, Manhattan
.



Fifth Avenue
will turn blue and white as more than 30 floats with Israeli and American musical
performers, 15 of the region’s best marching bands and 35,000 marchers
entertain hundreds of thousands of spectators.



The parade will “lift
off” by featuring SpaceIL, the
Israeli non-profit organization working to land the first Israeli spacecraft on
the moon. For the fourth year in a row, the Parade will be televised live by
FOX affiliate, WWOR-TV My9 from 12–2 p.m. and streamed online at celebrateisraelny.org. Robert Benrimon, founder of Skyframe
Inc., is the Grand Marshal for this year’s parade.
