The story

Fiestas Patronales de Juana Diaz in Juana Díaz

The Fiestas Patronales de Juana Diaz honor San Ramon Nonato, the town's patron saint, in a religious and cultural celebration held in late August or early September. It features parades, games, artisans, amusement rides, regional food and live entertainment, following the standard pattern of Puerto Rico's patron saint festivals.

Nearly every municipality in Puerto Rico observes fiestas patronales, an annual celebration honoring the town's official Catholic patron saint, and Juana Diaz, a town on the island's southern coast, holds its own version each year in late August or early September in honor of San Ramon Nonato.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Juana Diaz, nicknamed La Ciudad del Mavi for a fermented Taino beverage traditionally made from the bark of the mavi tree, holds this civic and religious celebration for its patron saint, San Ramon Nonato, distinct from the town's separately celebrated and even more prominent Three Kings Festival in January

02

The mystery stays covered

The town's identity is unusually layered with festival traditions, also nicknaming itself El Belen de Puerto Rico for its Epiphany celebrations, giving Juana Diaz two separate major annual festivals rooted in different religious calendars within the same municipality
