Fiesta Calendar: 1 Patron-Saint Fiesta and 51 Events in November

November brings patron-saint fiestas in 1 town on 1 feast day, opening with Saint Charles Borromeo on November 4. The month’s events in the news are listed too; both lists are below.

51 events in November have been in the news, 14 of them sports events and 12 community events; the rest spread across other categories.

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 towns shift the heaviest nights to the nearest weekend. Looking ahead, December opens with The Immaculate Conception of Mary on December 8 in Guayanilla, Humacao, Juncos, Las Marías, Las Piedras, Vega Alta and Vieques and Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12 in Ponce.
