Virtual National Coquito Festival

This is a fundraising event to support the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance's year-round youth music and arts educational programs.

Due to the circumstances of COVID-19 this year’s Coquito Festival will be a virtual event. It will include Coquito Makers who represent local Puerto Rican Restaurants. They will tell the story of their family holiday traditions and Coquito recipe. With each ticket purchase, a Coquito gift bag will be available for pick up from PRAA Center (3000 N. Elbridge Ave., Chicago, IL 60618) during designated times. An email will be sent to you regarding dates and pick-up times. Gift bags are available on a first come first served basis. Delivery or shipping of gift bags is not included. Each gift bag will include a Coquito recipe, (1) shot glass, (1) face mask, and basic Coquito making ingredients. Rum and additional ingredients of preference will need to be purchased by the attendee(s).

There will be Coquito making and storytelling, musical guests, a toast (Cheers!) and Parranda. While elements of an in person event will not be possible, it is our goal to provide a virtual experience that will be filled with holiday traditions and engage people in celebrating Puerto Rico’s holiday drink the “Coquito.”
