Puerto Rican pride is taking over the city this weekend, as the 23rd annual 116th Street Festival kicked off the celebrations Saturday.

Organizers say about 100,000 people checked out the dozens of vendors and entertainers at the street fair, which stretched from 106th Street to 122nd Street along Third Avenue between 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Many attending said they also looked forward to Sunday’s 51st Annual Puerto Rican Day Parade.

“I’m very proud to be Puerto Rican and I’m ready for the parade,” said one local.

“I love the parade. It’s great, it’s great. I look forward to many more,” said another.

More than two million spectators are expected to watch the parade, which begins at 11 a.m. and makes its way up Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 86th Street.

Pop singer Kat De Luna and reggaeton group Xtreme are slated to perform at this year’s parade.

Union leader Dennis Rivera has been chosen as this year’s grand marshal.
