With the iconic Puerto Rican flag sculptures as the backdrop, Division Street at California Avenue will come alive with live salsa, reggaton and bomba music and artists will create installations and art work.
Restaurant vendors will sell traditional Puerto Rican dishes like bacalo (salted codfish) jibaritos ( sandwiches made with fried plantains) and empanadillas (fried beef turnovers) and a pina colada bar (the cocktail was invented in Puerto Rico) will serve up the frothy drink.. There will also be food trucks and artisans selling their goods. The festival runs from noon to 10 pm each day. Tickets are $10
