Las Fiestas de Cruz is a long-standing and profound tradition that has developed and been practiced in Puerto Rico (as well as other Latin American countries) for over 200 years. It has a unique characteristic of bringing together different members of the community--from different backgrounds, professions, and ages--to give thanks for the year's successes and to gain strength for challenges faced--all through song, music and dance. Through everyone's active participation in these (the audience members raise their voices in chorus and revelry to accompany the music and chanted rosaries), the Fiestas de Cruz can hold very personal and specific importance to all those in attendance, and are often electrifying and inspiring.
Las Fiestas de Cruz is part of LP21's Cultural Legacy Initiatives and is made possible in part by support from the New York State Council on the Art and Governor Andrew Cuomo's Office, the National Endowment for the Arts and individuals like you!
