A small delay and a downpour of rain just wouldn't put a damper on Sunday's celebration of Dominican heritage.
Brave New Yorkers huddled under umbrellas and lined Sixth Avenue for the 30th annual Dominican Day Parade.
The parade kicked off at 2 p.m. and ran from 37th Street up to 52nd Street.
Congressman Charles Rangel, state lawmakers and city, labor and political officials were in attendance.
