The Puerto Rican Constitution was ratified on March 3, 1952, approved by the U.S. Congress on July 3, 1952 and became effective July 25, 1952.  To commemorate this date, the Parada San Juan Bautista, Inc. hosts a Flag Raising Ceremony every year in Camden, New Jersey at Roosevelt Plaza in front of City Hall.  We need to convey to our youth the importance of our heritage and educate them in the importance of respecting our flag.   The Flag Raising Ceremony is an event of pride and honor for the Puerto Rican community.  This event brings together community leaders, residents, business owners and government officials to celebrate the raising of the Puerto Rican flag as it is celebrated in Puerto Rico and in many other cities of the U.S.  The Puerto Rican flag is flown during the entire month of June at Roosevelt Plaza next to the American flag.

Estimated Attendance: 200
