"This year’s theme is: “Vejigante a la Boya” The Vejigante is a colorful folkloric character introduced into carnival celebrations in Puerto Rico hundreds of years ago. It’s historical character that has survived for centuries through the festival and culture of the island and a classic example of the blending of African, Spanish, Moorish and Caribbean influences in Puerto Rican culture." - Council of Spanish Speaking Org.
