Puerto Rican families and musicians celebrating together at Boricua Block Party in Cleveland

September 12, 2026 is the date—and we are moving forward.

We are getting things done and working with the City of Cleveland to help make Boricua Block Party happen. We are also speaking with the police commander about a safety plan so our families, neighbors, vendors, performers, volunteers, and visitors can enjoy the day responsibly.

A celebration built with and for our community.

More Than a Regular Block Party

This is not planned as an ordinary block party. It is a full cultural celebration of Puerto Rican identity, music, food, art, family, and community pride—a day that shows what becomes possible when we work together.

Event date and location

September 12, 2026

2820 Quigley Road
Cleveland, OH 44113

Confirmed hours, entrances, parking, transit details, and the final event map will be published as approvals and safety planning are completed.

Every Attendee Needs to Register

If 10,000 people attend but only 500 register, the official numbers do not show the true size, support, or impact of our community. Accurate registration helps us plan enough security, restrooms, sanitation, emergency support, food, and vendor space. It also gives us the proof we need when working with the city, sponsors, and partners to keep this good thing going.

We can be the difference by registering, showing up, and being counted.
