Philadelphia Puerto Rican Parade '03
 

The Philadelphia Puerto Rican parade, 2003 is celebrated by the Hispanic community of Philadelphia
and the Delaware valley Hispanic community as a whole.

This is 'Hispanic Heritage Month'  and the forty-first anniversary of the Puerto Rican Parade in Philadelphia's alluring 
Logan's Square -- Swann's fountain is in the foreground.

This parade assembles on Ben Franklin Parkway, from Eakins Oval at the Philadelphia Museum. The air is thick
with Latin Rhythms as the  performers  warm up their routines. From there the parade takes a triangular  detour
along 20th street to JFK Boulevard.  At the boulevard and 16th street they would again connect to the Parkway
ending at Logan's Square. Here they strut their stuff before the Judges.
