Bushwick Celebrates Puerto Rican Heritage with Knickerbocker Avenue Parade Led by Congresswoman Velázquez

This Sunday, June 8th, at 3 pm, Bushwick’s Knickerbocker Avenue will transform into a vibrant wave of Puerto Rican pride and culture as the community kicks off its 7th annual Puerto Rican Day Parade. The event, free and open to all, promises an afternoon brimming with the rhythms of salsa, the flair of traditional Puerto Rican attire, and the unbreakable spirit of community. At the helm of this year’s parade is none other than Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez, a trailblazer for Puerto Ricans in the U.S. Congress, serving as the Grand Marshal under the theme ‘Building Bridges: Connecting Generations of Puerto Rican Heritage.’
