Fiestas de la Calle en Boston [& Earthquake Relief Efforts]

Puerto Rico’s largest and most concurred festival, the Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián, is the unofficial closing to the longest holiday season in the world.

In light of the recent earthquakes that continue to rock the island, we’re using our event as an opportunity to come together and offer our support from Boston. The donation Will go to relief efforts through the campaign “Abrazando Puerto Rico” (Embracing Puerto Rico). This effort will provide therapeutic relief through the arts, something that will be needed short and long term as the mental health of our people continues to be impacted by these events.

Join us as we celebrate culture and unity with kiosks, traditional Puerto Rican food and drinks, and the music of the great Julio César Sanabria. Invite your family, friends, vecinos, comadre… it’s time to come together!

Organizations involved in direct relief efforts:

Agua, Sol y Sereno

Andanza

Fundación Música y País

Museo de Arte Contemporáneo

Red por los Derechos de la Niñez y la Juventud
