List of ticker-tape parades in New York City

Wikimedia list article

Since 1886, New York City has honored politicians, generals, organizations, military veterans, athletes, and others with ticker-tape parades. Parades are traditionally held along a section of Broadway, known as the "Canyon of Heroes", from Battery Park to New York City Hall. Beginning in the early 2000s, each of the ticker-tape parades has been commemorated by the Alliance for Downtown New York with a granite strip located on the sidewalks along the parade route, which is inscribed with the date of the parade and a brief description. The eight-inch-wide (20 cm) and three-inch-deep (7.6 cm) granite strips have two-inch (5.1 cm) stainless steel letters; markers have been installed for over 200 parades.
