The Puerto Rican Cultural Association of Bucks County (PRCABC) proudly celebrates their 50th Annual Festival at the Bristol Borough waterfront with cultural music, dance groups, vendors, food and activities on Saturday.

PRCABC President said Friday the celebration of Puerto Rican culture and heritage will begin at 11 am not 12 pm after considering its options throughout today in light of the recent heat wave and rain in Saturday’s forecast.

“We are hoping to get at least five hours of the festival. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for a change in the weather,” she said.

The Bucks County Genealogical Society will be on hand to assist festival goers with family history research in Puerto Rico (or anywhere else in the world). Stop by our table for free guidance, record lookups, handouts, and a pedigree chart in English or Spanish

Discovering your roots in Puerto Rico can cost you nothing but your time, and from the comfort of your home. Learn how to access these church, civil and census records free online.

Chat with Genetic Genealogist Cathy Ivins, who visited family in Puerto Rico in 2022, after building her husband’s tree and finding family using online records and DNA. Guests can chat with Cathy to learn more about their Boricua genes, which can include Indigenous (Taíno) Puerto Rican, Mesoamerican, Iberian (Spain, Portugal), and African ancestry.

You can also check out the family trees and records we have on many celebrities, musicians and athletes, including baseball legend Roberto Clemente
