Every September, the city of Ponce—known as La Perla del Sur (the Pearl of the South)—comes alive with one of Puerto Rico’s most unique and colorful celebrations: Día Mundial de Ponce (Ponce World Day). More than just a festival, this event is a week-long cultural experience that honors the heritage, pride, and traditions of Ponceños both on the island and abroad.

Día Mundial de Ponce is an annual celebration typically held the week leading up to Labor Day in September. Events usually begin on the Monday before Labor Day and culminate in a grand parade on the preceding Saturday or Sunday.
