5. PR Fiestas Patronales
A Hispanic Tradition
 In most Hispanic countries, fiestas are usually held in the town
square, these festivals are colorful displays of pride and joy,
featuring parades, games, rides, regional food, and live
entertainment. Most Fiestas Patronales feature: verbenas (in
Spanish-speaking cultures, a verbena is a country fair, modest
amusement park, and/or a dance party, especially one held at
night with live entertainment by famous international or local
singers), amusement rides, and street vendors; among other
things, during the celebration. The famous group “Menudo” and
many others began their career by singing at these events in
Puerto Rico

6. Why do more Hispanics follow Fiestas Patronales
than any other event in Broward?
Because it is our tradition!
 The Fiestas Patronales & Business Expo started as a Puerto Rican festival, it has become the most
popular event among the Hispanic community in south Florida. As celebrated each year in
Pembroke Pines, South Florida brings the Hispanic tradition to life. Now a 21 day Multi Cultural
extravaganza the only of its type in the Nation, people are awaiting with great anticipation.
 Fiestas Patronales provides an environment suitable for infants, teenagers, adults and the business
community all rolled up in one. This celebration includes: art exhibits, business products and
services, carnivals rides, music and traditions. When it comes to security we use private security and
local police support. Being able to create the right blend of components has made it possible for
Fiestas Patronales to successfully bring families & businesses alike together in a secure, educational
and enjoyable family environment.

Commerce of Broward County, an 12 year established chamber of commerce one of the most active
in the county, My First Horizon, Inc., an IRS approved (501-C3) not for profit entity dedicated to
