It’s been too long—15 years since Bushwick’s Puerto Rican residents have had an official opportunity to celebrate their culture and history within their own community. Now, thanks largely to Assemblywoman Maritza Davila, Tony’s Pizzeria, Magnifico Youth Sports Association, the NYPD, and countless other community leaders and residents, the rich melodies of merengue and salsa will sway a sea of red, white and blue, as they march, dance, and sing their way through the streets of Bushwick for the Knickerbocker Avenue Puerto Rican Day Parade on June 9 at 3 p.m.
