May 31, 2026 – Israel Day on Fifth 2026 Line of March

Arrival Time: 12:15 pm

Enter on 6th Avenue  
Section 5W – 53rd  between 5th and 6th Avenue

 

We will be marching right behind the Shorefront YM-YWHA and in front of the Upper West Side group.

Our Westchester group will start off with our Westchester Loves Israel Banner and Westchester Jewish Council Banner. As a member organization of the Council, we will bring a Beth El banner to march behind. 

 

In the past there were no streets to cross Fifth Avenue along the parade route. The only places where people were able to cross one side of Fifth Avenue to the other was at 51st, 59th and 79th Streets.

 

Security

Security at the  parade will be tight so please make sure you are wearing your tshirts to get through the entry point.   Your t-shirt is your entry ticket.  Give yourself some extra time to get to section 5W (53rd between 5th and 6th).

 

All marchers must arrive and stay with their group and wear the group’s event t-shirt or uniform.

No large bags, backpacks or umbrellas are allowed.

 

Watch from Home

Let Friends and family look for you on television or online. Israel Day on Fifth will be broadcast on My9 ( our estimated time to be in front of the camera is 12:55pm to1:10pm) and livestreamed on the Israel Day on Fifth website, JCRC-NY’s YouTube Channel, and JCRC NY’s Facebook page.

 

Thanks so much.   See you at the parade.
