¡Un Tiempo Para Celebrar!
The annual Puerto Rican Festival of Massachusetts will be held July 26 and 27, 2025 at Franklin Park! Come immerse yourself in our rich Puerto Rican culture and enjoy music performances, delicious Puerto Rican food from several vendors, carnival rides, local arts & crafts, and more!
The Puerto Rican Festival of Massachusetts, a long-standing tradition in Boston, began in the South End in 1967 and has grown into a two-day celebration held annually at the end of July, showcasing Puerto Rican culture through music, food, arts, and community events.
This year, we're thrilled to invite you to join in on the fun contributing to a celebratory video project that highlights the PR Festival over the years, as well as showcasing our culture, traditions, and event activities.
