Festival Betances is back, and this year, we're feeling the milestone. Join us at Plaza Betances on Saturday, July 18th starting at 12:30 PM as we celebrate Boricua Legacy: Shaping America's Story at New England's longest-running Latino cultural festival.
Come for the parade and the food, stay for the music, the art, the kids running through inflatables, and the feeling you only get when your whole community is in one place.
This year’s celebration honors the enduring power of Puerto Rican culture, music, activism, and community — from the streets of Villa Victoria to every corner of the American story.
Throughout the day, Festival Betances will feature:
• Live salsa and tropical music performances
• A community parade through Villa Victoria
• Art activations and cultural programming
• Family-friendly activities
• Gallery experiences and exhibit tours inside La CASA
• Puerto Rican food, culture, and community pride
