Día Mundial de Ponce (Ponce World Day) is a cultural celebration held in Ponce, Puerto Rico, every year during the month of September.[1] The celebration actually starts the Monday before Labor Day with various evening-time cultural festivities. It then culminates with the grand parade that takes place on the Sunday before Labor Day.[2] The celebration started in 2012 and has an estimated attendance of 4,000 people.[3] The week-long event aims to celebrate the cultural heritage of the city by giving tribute to the organizations, the people and "the great sons and daughters of the city of Ponce."[4] The first year of this celebration, the Grand Parade took place on the last Sunday of the celebration, but starting in 2013, the week-long events ended on a Saturday and the Grand Parade was changed to take place the last Saturday.[5] That year the celebration was also changed to occur the last weekend of September, rather than the weekend before Labor Day.

Attributes

The motto of the celebration is "Ponce, Orgullo de Todos" (English: Ponce, Everyone's Pride)[6]

History

The celebration dates back to an idea that Ponce native Rafael Serrano Segarra had while in flight to Ponce from the United States in 2011. While reading a magazine on board the airliner he came across an article about how the residents of Manchester, England, held an annual celebration of pride for their city. It occurred to Serrano Segarra that Ponceños could do something similar in their city.[7] On 21 June 2011, Serrano presented his ideas to a group of concerned Ponceños at the Antiguo Casino de Ponce.[8] On 28 November 2011 Serrano created the non-profit organization Comité Pro Día Mundial de Ponce (Committee Pro Dia Mundial de Ponce) to set the basis for obtaining approval for the concept.[9] In December 2011, the Puerto Rico Senate approved the Sunday before Labor Day as Día Mundial de Ponce, and the celebrations started.[10] The first celebration took place on 2 September 2012.[11] The first year of this celebration, the Grand Parade took place on the last Sunday of the celebration, but starting in 2013, the week-long events ended on a Saturday and the Grand Parade was changed to take place that day.[12] Rafael Serrano, president and founder of the event, September was chosen for the event because, according to him, there are three dates in September associated with the founding of the city.[13]
