A sea of Red White and Blue pride filled New York’s 5th avenue for the annual National Puerto Rican Day Parade! Hundreds of thousands of spectators lined the streets to watch, floats, flags, dancers, and incredible music acts in a cultural celebration unlike any other.

The largest cultural event in the nation, and an amazing day of pride and beautiful celebration.

A constant sea of flags were flying with glee, and could be seen as far as the eye could see. Music was pulsating and could barely be heard over the constant roar of cheers from the electric crowd.
