Our coverage has surfaced 10 dated events in September, 4 of them community events and 3 music events; the rest are theater and sports. Counting repeat performances, that is 15 dates in all.
A fiesta patronal is a town’s week-long party around its patron saint’s day: the plaza fills with live music, kioskos, artisan stalls, rides and a procession from the parish church, and most municipios shift the heaviest nights to the nearest weekend. Looking ahead, October opens with Guardian Angels on October 2 in Yabucoa and Saint Francis of Assisi on October 4 in Aguada.
