context_page_description: Since 1886, those who have made significant achievements, heads of state, returning veterans and sport champions from the New York area or national teams have been honored with ticker-tape parades. Parades are traditionally held along Broadway also known as the "Canyon of Heroes" from the Battery to City Hall. Each of these 206 parades has been commemorated by the Alliance for Downtown New York City with a granite strip, installed in 2004.
