The 49th annual Puerto Rican Festival is our flagship event that brings together people from all heritages to share our culture. This three day event is held at Boston’s City Hall Plaza where we celebrate our traditions and honor our history. The festival consist of live performances by local and international artist, kiosks selling typical Puerto Rican food, local arts and crafts, carnival rides and different activities for the entire family. It offers the opportunity for business partners to interact with the Hispanic community, including a Health Expo.  The festival culminates with the Puerto Rican Parade where the community showcases its culture through wonderful floats, colorful dance troupes, singers, dancers and appearances by distinguished honorees.
