The Puerto Rican Festival of Rochester, Inc. was formulated in 1969 for the express purpose of celebrating and recognizing the culture of Puerto Ricans. Puerto Ricans continue to be one of the largest growing Hispanic populations in New York State. This growth now makes Monroe County and the City of Rochester home to the 2nd largest population of Hispanics in New York State.

The Puerto Rican Festival Incorporated sponsors a variety of events, which serve to share and celebrate Puerto Rican culture. The largest event is the Puerto Rican Festival (38 annual editions to date have been organized), the longest running cultural festival in the County of Monroe. The festival is an annual 3-day event, which averages a daily attendance of 7,000 people of all cultures and ethnic backgrounds.
The 39th Annual Puerto Rican Festival takes place from August 1st - August 3rd, 2008.
