Milwaukee - On Saturday, more than 3,000 people attended the one day Puerto Rican festival in Milwaukee's South side. The festival began at noon and ended at 9:00 p.m.
The forecast was cloudy and rained during the early part of the day and by noon the showers had stopped. Several hours later, it cleared up and became a cool Sunny day with temperatures in the 70's.  
Numerous years have gone by since the last Fiesta Boricua was organized in the City of Milwaukee.
This year's Puerto Rican Fest was organized by Cecil Negron on the 700 block of S. 4th St., next to the Bradley Technical High School. Portions of the proceeds will be donated to the Casa Romero Youth Programs, according to Negron.
The entertainment was provided by Cache, One Man Band Ray Rios, Bahia, S-Tilo, D'CalleSon and others.
