The theme? "Somos Mas Que 100 Times 35."
If you can't make it out to Fifth Avenue, no te preocupes. We've got you covered!
Stay tuned aqui -- here -- on ABC 7. You can watch our live coverage of the parade starting at 12 p.m.
And in honor of the special day, we will dedicate a whole hour to celebrate Boricua pride! We have a jammed packed show filled with special guests.
Joining us is parade honoree Papo Vazquez. He's an acclaimed trombonist, composer, arranger and bandleader. His career spans more than five decades.
Also joining us is Parade Ambassador Lilibeth Torres, known as "La Boricua Lorian." As you can imagine, she's a huge Star Wars fan.
Torres fused her Puerto Rican heritage with inspiration from "The Mandalorian" to create her signature persona.
We'll talk with the parade's athletes of the year as well. They are Jockey Brothers Jose and Irad Ortiz.
If you're a fan of thoroughbred horse racing, then you know they are among the most dominant and respected jockeys in the sport. They are from Trujillo Alto.
And wait, there's more! Mina Ownlee is joining us this episode. She's a Bronx Boricua who wrote a children's book, "Layla Bella - A Puerto Rican Cinderella Story."
The book preserves Puerto Rican culture, identity and representation for young readers.
And one week after its own Puerto Rican Day parade, we'll travel to Yonkers. Each year, the Westchester city kicks off the Boricua celebrations.
We'll also catch up with the parade organizers and two of the scholarship honorees in this episode.
Tiempo with Joe Torres airs Sunday mornings at 11:30 on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
