After last year’s mighty, star-studded 50th Puerto Rican Day Parade, how could organizers possibly throw an even bigger fiesta this Sunday?
Easy answer: Who cares?
“We won’t be able to compare it to the 50th anniversary celebration,” says one of the parade leaders, María Román. “But no one should doubt that it will be a tremendous, spectacular parade.”
President of the parade Madelyn Lugo says that as initial arrangements were being made, “we thought that this year the parade was going to be smaller.””*
