Since 2015, the Sunset Park Puerto Rican Parade and Festival has transformed a bustling stretch of Brooklyn’s 5th Avenue into a festival of Bomba y Plena, baile, and folklore in the spirit of a traditional Puerto Rican carnival. Rooted in the neighborhood’s activist tradition, the parade celebrates the historic struggles of the Puerto Rican diaspora while bringing visibility to urgent issues on the island and in the broader Sunset Park community. Over the years, the Parade & Festival has become a beloved addition to the vibrant multi-cultural fabric of the Sunset Park neighborhood, with community members of all backgrounds lining the streets to take in the sounds and colors of this family friendly event. To continue deepening the connection between the community and the Parade & Festival, El Grito is creating cultural programming highlighting traditional Puerto Rican dancing, singing and drumming.
