September Calendar

Not a lot of major events taking place in Puerto Rico in September, but that's okay, because there are plenty of ongoing activities to keep tourists entertained. These include:

• Le Lo Lai Festivals - periodic music, dance and cultural events hosted by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company.
• Noche de Galerías - This is a night for art-lovers, when Old San Juan's galleries throw their doors open late into the night and welcome tourists to browse their work and drink a glass of wine. This month's event takes place on September 1.
• Festival La Casita - Held the first Saturday of the month (that'll be September 6), this free event centers on music and folkloric dance shows in the evening. Head to Paseo La Princesa around 6 pm to enjoy.
• Children's Theater - Held the third Sunday of the month (September 21) beginning at 4 pm, this event, also on Paseo La Princesa features puppet shows, food, and street performers on hand to entertain the kids.

Of course, there are also Patron Saint Festivals taking place all over the island this month, including:

• September 8 - in the towns of Aguas Buenas, Hormigueros, Jayuya, Moca, and Salinas.
• September 29 - in the towns of Cabo Rojo, Naranjito, and Utuado.
