El "Día​ de San Juan" Salsa Festival

​Scholarship Fundraiser
​

The Western Region Puerto Rican Council’s (WRPRC) El "Día de San Juan” Scholarship Fund Raising event is one of the most highly anticipated events of the summer festival season. Like the huge San Jose Jazz Festival El "Dia de San Juan” festival is a major cultural event in the Silicon Valley.

El "Día de San Juan” is a joyous celebration of music, dance, food, culture, language, ownership, history, hopefulness, and agency. El "Día de San Juan” is the Fourth of July, it’s Cinco de Mayo, it’s Saint Patrick’s Day, it’s Bastille Day, it’s our day. It’s a day to be with friends, family, and loved ones.

​It’s a day to eat, to dance, to remember and to create new memories. It’s a time to debate and a time to play dominoes. It’s a time to eat too much food, doze and flirt. It’s a time to joke and to laugh, to see old friends and make new ones. It’s a celebration of life, an expression of joy, and a tribute to San Juan, the patron saint and name sake of the capital of Borinquen. It’s a day to come together and share all that it means to be “Boricua!”


El “Día de San Juan” is a glorious festival. I can think of no other word that does it justice. It’s a day filled with love, humor, good will, and caring. It’s a display of the heart and soul of a people. Come share our food. Come share our music. Come sit with us, dance with us, and eat with us. We want you to come. We want you to see who we are because—we are proud of who we are.​
