September 23rd we commemorate El Grito De Lares " The Cry Of Lares". Our first blown out revolution
but since we're technically not independent as of today it's up to individual Puerto Rican's whether or not they celebrate it.
Many Celebrate the 4th of July, But I see this as disrespectful to ourselves as The United States is the very same country that came and invaded and prevented our independence. Celebrating their independence as a Puerto Rican would be like celebrating the Birthday of someone who took out your mother. Kinda messed up now isn't it?
Puerto Rico change from a Spanish colony to a United States one. It has never gained it's independece.
Puerto Rico does not celebrate it's independence, because it is not independent. What it does celebrate is the formation of the Commonwealth in July 25.
It created a minority of hard core Nationalists and Independece seekers.
Carnival.

Puerto Rico has many customs and traditions. Puerto Ricans sing Christmas carols, and celebrate Epiphany and Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian.
Soy de Puerto Rico. (I'm from Puerto Rico) or Soy puertorriqueño. (I'm a Puerto Rican)
Puerto Rico celebrates most of the holidays that the United States celebrate. Recently it combined two public holidays of theirs to create one new one called The Day of Illustrious Puerto Ricans.
Puerto Rico is an island and the US is not.
