Similarly, Tartan Day is known for its parade with bagpipe bands and Highland dancing. “Tartan Day Parade“ starts on 45th Street and moves up 6th Avenue to 55th Street. At the same time, Hundreds of bagpipers and drummers in bands from all over America join the parade. During the parade, thousands of participants march their way to show support along the route – so it can get a bit noisy! Such as, Drummers, highland dancers and Bagpipe players all join together to take part in the parade.
