Puerto Rican Festival |
| A Philadelphia tradition since 1962, the Puerto Rican Festival is a citywide event organized by the Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations, Inc. (Concilio), the oldest Latino social service agency in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Since its humble beginnings, the Puerto Rican Festival has promoted unity, economic development, and education while preserving and promoting the culture and heritage of its people. |
| Numerous events are held as part of the Puerto Rican Festival. These include among others the official kick-off and poster unveiling ceremony, the Penn’s Landing Hispanic Fiesta, a job fair, a salute to our senior citizens, and a banquet-gala. The festival culminates with the Puerto Rican Day Parade in downtown Philadelphia. With over 100 participating groups vying for awards, this lively spectacle is a true celebration of rhythms in living colors. The parade is attended by over 10,000 spectators and viewed in thousands of households across the Delaware Valley in 6 ABC, WPVI-TV. |
