Hundreds gathered at the one day event to celebrate the food, music and traditions from the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico. They were joined by many local and regional residents from Latin America, together, as one big family.

Festival goers were treated to great musical talents thanks to Breeze Entertainment LLC.  The entertainment included:  La Morenita Del Swing, Julio Iglesias “boricuas2Latin Sound”,  Pietri El Fantastico, Ricky Luis y muchos más.  The Tallahassee based, Puerto Rican folkloric dancing troupe “Renacer Borincano” delighted the crowd with traditional Bombas y Plenas to close the one day festivity.
