The Dominican Parade in Philadelphia is usually the Sunday of the third week of August every year.
August 12 th :D
The Puerto Rican Day Parade and the Dominican Day Parade. However, neither of these parades take place during Hispanic Heritage Month, which is from September 15 to October 15. The Puerto Rican Day Parade takes place on the second Sunday of June, and the Dominican Day Parade takes place in August. National Hispanic Heritage Month was designated to be from September 15 to October 15 because September 15 is the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Since neither Puerto Rico nor the Dominican Republic are included among these five countries, it's really not necessary for the Puerto Rican and Dominican Parades to take place during Hispanic Heritage Month.

Contrary to popular belief, Macy's didn't host the first Thanksgiving Day parade -- that honor goes to their longtime (and now defunct) rival Gimbel Brothers (Gimbels), in Philadelphia, which started the tradition in 1920. The first parade featured 50 costumed store employees leading Santa to the retail giant's toy department. Macy's held their first parade in 1924 (tied for second in the nation with the All-American Thanksgiving Day Parade in Alaska).Gimbels went out of business in 1987, but the parade continues under the sponsorship of a local ABC affiliate and IKEA.
