The 26th Fiesta Boricua, popularly called “De Bandera a Bandera” will be celebrated during the Labor Day Weekend (Saturday August 31 & Sunday September 1, 2019). This family centered festival is truly an immersion into Puerto Rican culture: its music; its food; its dance; and its artisan. The weekend celebration is sponsored by The Puerto Rican Cultural Center, Alderman Roberto Maldonado, State Representative Delia Ramírez, and the Municipality of Guayama, Puerto Rico. On Friday, Aug. 30th a ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on Rockwell and Division to inaugurate the Community as a Campus Back to School Carnival with the participation of CPS. The carnival will feature education fairs showcasing the area’s community schools, including giveaways, arts and crafts, games, backpacks for the first 250 students, and haircuts for the first 50 students. The 26th Fiesta Boricua will be ushered in by an evening gala – Noche Jíbara/ Guayabera. Admission is free to the festival.
