It’s not quite time for the annual Greater Hartford Puerto Rican Day Parade, yet people are asking about it.
Here’s what we know. On June 5th, the parade starts at 11am at Wawarme and Wethersfield Avenue and continues down Main Street, ending near the Gold building.
The Festival del Coqui will be happening in Bushnell Park after the parade. Last year it was at the Riverfront.
If you are wondering about parking for this event, or at all, you can find more information here and here.

I thought there was also a parade on Park Street around the same time as the P.R. Day Parade last year.

It’s not an official parade, but traditionally, the night before the real parade, people cruise up and down Park Street in the evening. It’s not sanctioned or anything, but everybody knows about it and expects it.

Around what time do people usually start cruising on Park St. the night before the parade? I’m asking because I have to be in New Haven by 10pm. However, I would like to see this if it starts early enough. Thanks!

the problem is that there is no set time. it has been known to start after work, so about 6-8PM but unofficial means that it starts when it starts.
