BUFFALO, N.Y. — Niagara Street in the city of Buffalo will be transformed on Saturday as the Puerto Rican and Hispanic Day Parade of Western New York Association takes over.
Colorful floats, food, vendors and entertainment will highlight the day.
There is an event after the parade being hosted by Buffalo Herd Fest from 10 p.m.- 2 a.m. at VENU Tickets are $30.
Kenny Colon and James “Balistic Man” Melendez are eager to celebrate culture through music.
“We have a couple of big artists coming, we have CJ, Tony Sunshine, who’s part of Fat Joe’s team and then Balistic Man,” said Colon.
“I wouldn’t be who I am. You wouldn’t have a Balistic man if it wasn’t for the roots and culture obviously of my Puerto Rican pride and anybody that does anything in life, I believe, like you have some roots of some type of culture. Buffalo culture is huge for me, obviously Buffalo. So culture is big. You can’t erase culture. You have to embrace it,” said James “Balistic Man” Melendez.
