Hundreds turned out Sunday for the Bronx Columbus Day Parade, one of the largest parades in the state.

Spectators gathered to watch the festivities, dance along the route and celebrate Italian American heritage.

Organizers say it's the 43rd year for the parade in Morris Park, and that it gets bigger each year.

But some spectators say crowds are dwindling, and they say controversy surrounding the holiday could be causing smaller turnout.
