“Our hearts and prayers are with our brothers & sisters in Puerto Rico as they once again are faced with the catastrophic devastation of a natural disaster – Hurricane Fiona. We continue to monitor official updates, media reports, and speak with families & advocates on the ground. In the last forty –eight hour, we have received countless messages asking how we – the Connecticut Puerto Rican community & beyond – can help."
The Greater Hartford Puerto Rican Parade and Festival del Coquí are held in a one-day event at Bushnell Park during the first weekend in June, historically opening the season of Puerto Rican parades and festivals throughout New England.
