Thousands of revelers lined Sixth Avenue for Sunday’s raucous Dominican Day Parade, which rattled windows and shook the sidewalks with blaring music from its colorful floats.
Flag-waving spectators cheered as dancers twirled their blue dresses, and the traditional diablo cojuelo — or limping devil — paraded past in a costume of mirrors and bells, tossing balloons.
“I love to see people enjoying the culture,” said Emerito Beltran, 32, of The Bronx. “You see a lot of things that you mostly see [in the Dominican Republic]. Personalities from there come here to have fun. It’s a great day.”
Marchers included Gov. Cuomo, who led a delegation of officials that included Dominican-born City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez.
Dascha Polanco of TV’s “Orange is the New Black” was among the celebs in attendance, and singer Henry Santos served as godfather of the parade.
