festival goers attributed this to the Governor's very public executive orders,
the recent cuts in welfare and the heavy police and security presence paid
for by the festival throughout the
event. Photos
of the event and Parade are here:

Puerto Rican Festival Returns to Boston
The Puerto Rican Festival in Boston returned after it's cancellation last
year because the nonprofit Festival Puertoriqueño de Massachusetts
Inc. who sponsored the event for the last forty years missed a filing deadline
and lost its nonprofit status. The parade and other events went on
but the cancellation left organizers without enough money to pay vendors
or the city. Earlier this year the group regained its nonprofit status,
city officials forgave money owed for police details and Fiesta Shows, a
carnival vendor brought in his services at a 30 percent discount. This
year, Friday's intense wind, rain, and lightning threatened to put a damper
on the celebration, but the show went on.
