A parade every September, to honor the memory of Baron von Steuben.

It used to be a big day in Yorkville, the German neighborhood in
Manhattan. Dozens of German stores and restaurants would participate
and the streets would be crammed with onlookers and merry makers and
lots of beer and Wuerstln would be consumed. Now the neighborhood has
one German restaurant left, the Heidelberg and one German store with
mostly meats and cold cuts, Schaller & Weber.
