Sunset Park celebrates, pays tribute to Hurricane Maria victims in fourth annual Puerto Rican Day Parade
Celebrating culture while remembering the fallen.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria that left Puerto Rico last fall with massive destruction and a rising death toll, Sunset Park’s fourth annual Puerto Rican Day Parade and Festival on Sunday, June 10 was celebratory, resilient, and sometimes somber.
The day’s rainy weather did not put a damper on the growing tradition, hosted once again by El Grito de Sunset Park, that began at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street.
