The Florida Puerto Rican Parade, Inc., Festival and related activities were established in September 2016 to promote the Puerto Rican culture, heritage, values and its contributions to the State of Florida.

It promotes the achievements made by Puerto Ricans in Business, Health, Music, Science, Sports, Arts and Government. Puerto Ricans from throughout Florida cities, surrounding states, other mainland states and Puerto Rico attend the annual activities. Friends and families of participants and spectators join in this annual celebration which has become a destination event for families to get together.

The 2026 the parade and festival to be held on April 25, 2026 in downtown Orlando is preceded by several activities that mark the 10^th Anniversary Celebration of the organization.

All the activities are dedicated to the Municipality of Yabucoa known as the “City of the New Dawn” or “La Ciudad del Nuevo Amanecer”.

The theme of the parade is “Build the Future in Puerto Rico”. In addition to the cultural festivities the 2026 events will serve as a strategic platform to highlight the island’s economic opportunities and inspire young talent and entrepreneurs to invest in Puerto Rico’s future.

It is our goal to showcase recently enacted Puerto Rico government incentives including; Act 60 tax benefits, Opportunity Zones, and a growing ecosystem in sectors like Renewable energy, Tech, Manufacturing and Tourism. The parade will serve as an economic movement to show that Puerto Rico is not only rich in culture but also rich in potential.
