The ninth annual Sunset Park Puerto Rican Parade and Festival took place on June 8, attracting many attendees celebrating Puerto Rican culture through music, food, and vibrant floats. While many recognize the larger Puerto Rican Day Parade in Manhattan, Sunset Park's event offers a more intimate, community-oriented experience. Attendees highlighted the joyous atmosphere characterized by local pride and culture. Participants appreciated the live music performances and decorations that embodied their heritage, making the event not only a celebration but also a bonding opportunity for the community.
"The Puerto Rican Day Parade is one of my favorite events of the year. They're not as big, but they are much more mi gente - more of a street festival with actual community coming together to enjoy themselves."
"This is my 9th year bringing some live music to celebrate my friends' and neighbors' culture... the anthem of Puerto Rican pride 'Que Bonita Bandera' gets an enthusiastic reaction from most of the hundreds of people along the parade route."
