“Jacksonville’s Puerto Rican Parade has become such a success, its popularity is creating some unexpected challenges for organizers. The third annual event is slated for Sept. 22 and based on last year’s attendance, the City has determined the only venue that can handle the projected level of participation is Metropolitan Park, the site of other major annual gatherings including the Jacksonville Jazz Festival and the World of Nations celebration.
According to Nilda Alejandro, president of the Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations, Inc., the organization was formed to promote Jacksonville to the Hispanic community as a place to live, work and own a business. She said many relationships have been formed and this year’s parade and festival will bring as many as 1,000 Hispanic dignitaries and business leaders to Jacksonville.”
