KnickerBocker Avenue Puerto Rican Day Parade
Bushwick, Brooklyn is one of New York City’s Puerto Rican neighborhoods. The Parade is held on the second Sunday in June, on the same day as Manhattan’s National Puerto Rican Day Parade.
Our opinion is that the Parade’s timing is based on African Yoruba new year which is June 3. In Yoruba tradition, when we start something new, we ask Eleguá, the messenger of God and orisha of the crossroads, to open a channel to the divine. We honor him on June 13, a few days after African Yoruba new year. Many people will tell you this is just folklore, but the traditions live on in the hearts of the people.
