The Boogie Down’s Boricua pride was on full display at this year’s Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade.
Commemorating 31 years, the annual parade hosted by the Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade, Inc. and La Sorsa Automotive Group was held on Sunday, June 4 on the Grand Concourse.
The day’s dreary weather did not deter Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade pageant winners, local elected officials, residents and parade groups from celebrating the special occasion.
