First march the veterans: the Polish Army Veterans Association of America and Polish-American Veterans, Post No. 111 named after Gen. Józef Haller from New Britain, Connecticut. Behind them walk the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts of the Polish Scouting Organization (ZHP) and cadets from the Kosciuszko Squadron of the West Point Military Academy.

The route also featured a float from LOT Polish Airlines. The Polish-American choral community is represented by choirs from the Seventh District of the Polish Singers Alliance of America, including the Jutrzenka Singing Society and Polonia Paderewski Chorus. Members of the Pulaski Association of Business and Professional Men, an organization active since 1959, are also marching.

Polish-American businesses have their own floats: Maven Construction Corp., celebrating its 25th anniversary, and Syrena Bakery with the slogan “Salutes the Polish Community.” The section closes with a column of motorcyclists carrying white-and-red flags and a procession of cars, ranging from the Fiat 126p, Polonez, and Trabant to sports cars.
