We at Desi Hits! were proud to be part of the India Day Parade this year and we all had a great time. We especially had a blast  hanging out on Jay Sean's float on this special day.

 We were all psyched for the parade to begin and we started to set up the float around 11:30am . Our very own Jay Sean got to the site around 12:30pm and he was all pumped up and ready to go.

The parade went from 41st Street to 26th Street along Madison Avenue. From our float, we heard a lot of music playing in front of, behind and on our float. From Bhangra to Bollywood all types of Desi music was pumping out of the speakerphones. We of course got the crowd going with Jay Sean's hit tracks coming from the speakerphones on our float. All in all, the parade was like one huge dance party.

The crowd went wild, especially the ladies when they saw Jay Sean waving to the thousands of people who came out to celebrate. Everyone seemed excited to see Jay and they were able to get free t-shirts given by him.

As soon as the parade got to 26th Street, we all stopped where we were graced by the presence of Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty who was present at the parade as the grand marshal.

As soon as the parade was over, we parked our float and Jay Sean was escorted away by the police as thousands of fans chased after him.

As a grand finale to the celebration Jay Sean performed at Club Touch in NYC later in the evening.

Well there you have it. For those of you who want to check out photos from the parade check them out on our Facebook!
