Puerto Rican flags were flying — and so were plenty of Knicks colors — as the third annual Lower East Side Puerto Rican Parade & Festival stepped off yesterday afternoon.
This year's parade honored Kanielle Hernandez as Madrina and Frige as Padrino (below)...
The march made its way from Columbia and Rivington streets to Avenue D and 12th Street, where a community celebration showcased Puerto Rican culture, heritage and resilience through music, dancing and neighborhood camaraderie...
Even an approaching thunderstorm that cut the festivities short couldn't take much away from the day's celebratory mood.
