This year’s parade theme is Building a culture of belonging through diversity, equality and inclusion for women. Elevating women’s achievements and participation throughout our society by valuing their contributions to the community, culture, education, arts, family and the economy. This is a FREE event for the community and the oldest Puerto Rican Day Parade in the State of Florida that typically attracts thousands of people. The City of Palm Bay has named the main entrance to City Hall, ” Samuel C. Lopez Way” in memory of our founder, Samuel C. Lopez who established the first annual Puerto Rican Day Parade in Brevard County in November 1997. He sadly passed away unexpectedly January 11,2021. Our board is committed to carry on his legacy and vision for the Hispanic and minority community in Brevard County and since his passing we dedicated our 25th Annual Puerto Rican Day Parade to him.
