About this listen

 On this edition of Tiempo, we count down to the 2025 National Dominican Day Parade in New York City. A ribbon cutting ceremony will kick off festivities in Midtown Manhattan on Sunday, and the parade is sure to be a good time for all. The annual event celebrates Dominican culture and the many triumphs of Dominicans in the city. In fact, Dominicans represent the largest Hispanic population in the five boroughs, making up nearly 35% of Latinos in New York City. Joining us with a preview of the event is National Dominican Day Parade Chair Cristina Contreras and La Madrina Mayra Linares-Garcia. Also ahead, a teenage Latino artist who paints custom cleats. And he doesn't paint just any cleats. Several Major League Baseball players, including the Mets' Pete Alonso and the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. feature his artwork on their shoes. We speak with the young entrepreneur about the inspiration behind his artwork. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
