Patron Saint Festivals

Patron Saint Festivals that are celebrated year-round innearly every city and township. A Fiesta Patronal is an

event dedicated to the patron saint or virgin of the

particular city. These cheerful celebrations can last

anywhere from a day to nine days. Each city holds its

own Fiesta Patronal, and they usually take place in the

central plaza. Live music, food kiosks, amusement

parks, handmade arts and crafts and pure joy invade the

city from sunrise to sundown. The delicious aroma of

tasty bacalatos and the pulsating sounds of live bandsbring you face to face with Puerto Rican culture in its

most authentic form.

Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastin

Another outstanding celebration is the Fiestas

de la Cal le San Sebast in, which is held in

January all over Old San Juan but mainly on

San Sebastin Street. The festival began as acelebration by a local priest to commemorate the

life of Saint Sebastian, a martyr who died in the

name of Christianity.


24/26

Vejigante

Our arts and crafts range from folkloric vejiganteor demon masks (vejigantes represent

benevolent spirits), to hand-carved Catholic

saints (santos), to Native Indian lace-making

(mundillos). Art and literature evoke the Jbaro,

the Tano, the Spanish and the American and

Nuyorican (Puerto Ricans in New York)

identities.


25/26

Bomba takes most of its heritage from Africa.Played solely with a set of hand drums and

maracas (or shakers), its a passionate

challenge between dancer and drummer that

requires a great amount of skill and

concentration. The hypnotizing sound of thedrums and carefully choreographed moves are a

spectacle worthy of admiration.

Danza is our local take on the Waltz. The mostfamous example is La Borinquea, our national

anthem.
