Merengue, bachata and comedy will have a joint day of celebration as the 26th annual Dominican Day Parade makes its way up Sixth Ave. at noon Sunday.

Bachata singers Andy Andy and Xtreme, merenguero El Sujeto and comedian Ruperto Vanderpool are expected at the annual fiesta.

The diablos cojuelos — or lame devils — in their colorful masks and costumes and a popular tradition during carnival celebrations in the D.R., will stir up the crowd.“They are always in,” says parade spokesman Carlos Velázquez of Galos Corp., “because if not, people will complain.”

There will be about 40 floats and Velázquez expects some 300,000 spectators waving their white-cross-over-red-and-blue flags along Sixth Ave.

Other VIPs on the route include Dominican radio personalities Alma, the parade’s national godmother of “The Luis Jiménez Show,” and Frederick (El Pacha) Martínez.Mayor Bloomberg, Assemblyman Adriano Espaillat (D-Washington Heights) and Commissioner Guillermo Linares are among the expected politicos.

The traditional Dominican Festival, which was expected to take place in Washington Heights Saturday and Sunday, was cancelled at the last minute Wednesday, organizers said.

The Dominican Day Parade was first held in 1982 in Washington Heights but eventually had to be moved to midtown because of the size of the crowds. Dominicans now number around 600,000 in New York City.

Sunday’s march kicks off at Sixth Ave. and 36th St. and moves north to 57th St.
