Now in its fifth year, Fiestas Patronales de Holyoke returns for a four-day celebration of Puerto Rican culture, the largest Puerto Rican festival in Massachusetts and the only one of its kind spanning four full days.

This milestone anniversary year honors the town of Naranjito, Puerto Rico, founded in 1824 and known as one of the island’s most iconic volleyball towns. The sport arrived there in 1915 and helped forge a lasting bond between Naranjito and Holyoke that continues today.

Performers include: Luis Vargas, Tonny Tun Tun, La Makina, Nino Segarra, Christian Alicea, Luis Mato, Luis Moña, Alexandra La Queen, and Bomba de Aquí.

The festival brings together music, food, dance, and community in the heart of Downtown Holyoke, celebrating the culture and history that connect Holyoke to Puerto Rico across the miles.

Please note: Coolers are not permitted on festival grounds. Maximum security will be in place throughout the event.
