Peruvian Civic Association Of New Jersey

PARADE

Every year since 2005, Peruvian Civic Association of New Jersey (PCANJ) organizes the Peruvian

Parade that marches along the cities of Kearny and Harrison NJ. The parade attracts approximately 8,000 people from the Tri-State area to cel­ebrate and share the rich culture and history of Peruvian and South American People. The Parade attracts cultural groups and folkloric dancers that display the rich music and folklore of the Andean region of Peru and other parts of South America. It also draws cultural groups that display the rich cultural fusion between South Americans and European, African and Asian immi­grants to Latin America. In past parades, PCANJ had the privilege of having cultural groups ftom Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, and Uruguay.
