El Festival de la Novilla
January 14, 2024
The traditional Festival de la Novilla, a heifer, is celebrated every year in the town of San Sebastián. The event features live music, an amusement park, salsa dancing, food stalls, and an artisan market. The festival pinnacle is the official parade, where a cow is decked with a crown of flowers and leads a procession of floats through the town. This festival not only celebrates the history of Puerto Ricans' agricultural practices but also serves as a fundraiser for local scholarships.
