Come Dance at The Hartford Puerto Rico Parade 2026 - with Vejigante Troupe
About this Event
A call to Cancer Survivors or representatives to participate in this year’s The Hartford Puerto Rican Parade. The idea is to bring hundreds of cancer survivors dressed as Vejigante and dance on Puerto Rican Day Parade 2026 - September 13th, 2026. The main vehicle will be the Puerto Rican image of Vejigante. Cancer statistics in our communities throughout the United States and Puerto Rico have increased dramatically. Likewise, a large number of young people are being diagnosed with this condition, and we want to alert everyone to the importance of prevention and early detection to achieve a good survival outcome.
For a donation of $25 we can help facilitate Mask and Vejigante costumes.
The main objective of the La Comparsa Rosa Vejigante Project is to educate about early cancer detection and prevention using the largest platform for Puerto Ricans Hartford Conneticut in the U.S. The proposal has several additional components: an informational and educational website is already operational; it will feature a series of workshops, conferences on Vejigantes and the creation of masks from recycled materials; it will broadcast live streaming from the parade via cameras installed in some of the vejigantes; and the participation of survivors as dancers dressed as vejigantes.
In short, we are calling on cancer survivors or their representatives to walk, dance, and enjoy the great event in the most important cultural city of Hartford Puerto Rican Parade in Conneticut.
