Greater Hartford Puerto Rican Day Parade and Festival

The Greater Hartford Puerto Rican Day Parade, which begins at 1:00 PM, will lead to street closures in the City. There will be "No Parking" enforcement on the Parade Route and towing will be conducted if need be.

The Festival del Coqui will be taking place in Bushnell Park, from 2:30 PM to 9:00 PM, on Sunday as well. This will result in increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the vicinity of Bushnell Park during the afternoon and evening.

Additional road closures may occur due to circumstances beyond the Police Department’s control. Motorists traveling in the area of this event will experience delays and should consider alternative routes, if possible. Please plan on leaving early to arrive on time to enjoy the day in the City.

The Hartford Puerto Rican Parade features nearly 3,000 marching participants and is the largest parade in the City of Hartford and the Hartford region. Among the participants, you will see our honorees and delegates, local school groups, school bands, cultural groups from different countries showcasing their pride, Hartford Police Officers and Hartford Firefighters, the CT National Guard, music groups, entertainers, faith groups, Paso Fino Horses, clowns, media groups (radio, TV, print), sponsors, and elected officials.
