Puerto Rican Parade and Festival returns to Brooklyn
Sunset Park played host again to its growing tradition of celebrating Puerto Rican pride, as the neighborhood’s Sixth Annual Puerto Rican Parade and Festival was held for the first time in three years on June 12.
The parade was brought back to the neighborhood in 2015 by community organization El Grito after years of not having one for decades.
El Grito founder Dennis Flores said it was great to bring the celebration back as locals and people that traveled from different areas came to support the prideful day.
