History and Mission The Puerto Rican Festival of Massachusetts was founded forty-two years ago in the South End of Boston; with a small group of Puerto Rican pioneers who decided to organize an activity, whereby the community could promote a sense of belonging and cultural affirmation within the state. Under the leadership of the late Chico Muñoz, and the commitment of many community leaders, the first festival committee was formed. The event took place in 1967 at the Blackstone Park, with approximately 2,500 people. This initiated the development of the Puerto Rican Festival of Massachusetts, Inc. Today, this cultural event has turned out to be the state’s largest Hispanic event with over 185,000 attendees during a three-day celebration at Franklin Park, one of Boston’s largest fields.
