It will be a sea of blue and white later today for the 52nd annual Celebrate Israel Parade.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to line up 5th Avenue on the Upper East Side for the festivities.
Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo are among those who will march along the route.
The parade will go between 57th and 74th streets along 5th Avenue.
Meanwhile, due to threatened thunderstorms and lightning and the inherent danger that they present for an outdoor concert, Sunday’s Israel Day Concert in Central Park has unfortunately been cancelled.
Guest speakers at the concert were to include Israel’s United Nations Ambassador Danny Danon • Former U.S. United Nations Ambassador John Bolton • Fox News Analyst and Commentator Major Pete Hegseth • Joe Piscopo • and ZOA President Morton Klein.
The concert starred Lipa Schmeltzer • Eitan Katz • Shloime Dachs and Orchestra • Tal Vaknin with Shlomi Aharoni • Mati Shriki • Avi Kilimnick • Michoel Pruzansky • Dr. Meyer Abittan • Jerry Markowitz • Chaim Kiss • Izzy Kieffer & and Heshy R. • Micha Gamerman • Matt Dubb • White Shabbos (Josh Alpert accompanied by Mike Wagner, Pesach Alpert, Mordechai Harrison, Joseph Palemieri, Noam Segal).

It was the Tefilos of the Neturei Karta that arranged the bad weather. See what power they have?
