THEME: "Renacer de Puerto Rico" - The Rebirth of Puerto Rico
On September 16, 2017 the island of Puerto Rico was struck by Hurricane Maria, leaving its infrastructure completely dismantled. Since then, Puerto Rico's road to recovery has been met with optimism by its natives and those across the world who refuse to become disheartened by their home's current state. It is important to highlight the resiliency of a culture whose motivation for revival is exponential in the rebuilding and reconnecting of their community. Concilio hopes to honor the people of Puerto Rico this year for their strength and commitment to each other and to their roots. Renacer de Puerto Rico, the rebirth of Puerto Rico.
