- In Puerto Rico, the San Sebastian Street Festival (SanSe) marks the end of the Christmas holiday season. Celebrated on the third Thursday of January each year, the Caribbean island takes to the streets to celebrate the martyr San Sebastian and its cultural heritage. Over the course of four days, the Calle San Sebastian is filled with music, dance, and artisans sharing the best of what Puerto Rico has to offer.
Join us in Old San Juan as we learn about what makes San Sebastian such an important aspect of Puerto Rican culture.

I live in Puerto Rico, and I have to tell you that your job is excellent, so keep doing it. Puerto Rico is one of the best places to live in the world. It’s american soil,so everything has to be under federal standards, from health care to infrastructure. Our temperature is between 80’s and 90’s all year round. We have a lot of beautiful beaches, actually, some ranked between the most beautiful in the world. And also, we are very welcoming people; welcome to Puerto Rico guys!
ed ra
So true.
We welcome everyone with open arms and a cup of coffee along with something to eat. I love my people 🇵🇷💕
Kinda sucks we are us territory to be honest. Alot of disavantages. Puerto rico is the only country in latin america that is depopulating just because we can freely go to the states when we experience hardships so P.R. loses people easily.
Ernesto Cruz That's a good point sir.
@ok 01 just look at other latin american countries they seem to be doing just fined without any U.S. interaction. I will feel so proud if Puerto Rico become independent. I dislike the U.S.A ways and living.
@ok 01 have you seen santo domingo ? It looks very modern and have everything we have.
And people still have the audacity to say that Puerto Ricans denies their African roots.
@Lt Fuckwit wow!! That's so true.
@ok 01 The world is obsessed with race. you can't say americans are just because a few are.
@@spacecodes2 You're wrong!! That obsession with race nationality and color is an American thing. It's not just a few, as you want to make it seem. And it is also kind of silly for you to lie to yourself.
@ok 01 Yo tambien. I traveled to many countries also and none like United States. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and I knew the meaning of racism, but in Puerto Rico you go to school with people of all shades and fiscal characteristics that being white was never a reason to feel better than anyone. I mean, in Puerto Rico there's no type of white privileged what so ever!!! Jajajaja Y despues, I moved to United States and I was white until I opened my mouth and they heard my thick Rican accent. Then their attitude towards me would change and It was like, they thought I was as smart as my accent in English, therefore they didn't have to respect me much. That used to bothered me a lot. Especially when most times it came from a fucking monolingual.
Ive never experienced racism until i went to the states
This is truly one of the best channels to learn Spanish language/Uno de los mejores canales para aprender la lengua española. Needs more subscribers! ¡Vámonos todos!
I turned Spanish subtitles on during the interview May did to be able to read what was spoken as I'm better at understanding Spanish if I can read what is being said in addition to hearing it. It would have been good to hear you two speak in Spanish also (rather than English). If people want an English translation they can turn on English subtitles.
Muchas gracias por este video soy Puertorriqueña y llevo 6 años viviendo en Dallas. Extraño mucho mi isla gracias a ustedes puedo ver un poco de mi cultura y tradiciones. Dios los bendiga
Thanks for keeping me and the world informed. My parents are from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🙏
OMG I grew up in Puerto Rico. I forgot how awesome parties are over there. Thank you for sharing. 🇵🇷
¡Gracias Jim y May por mostrar y promover nuestra isla, cultura y música! ¡Dios les bendiga y cuide siempre!💕
My husband and I have lived here for over a year now and we had the great privilege of attending this year! It was incredible! I just need to really start focusing on learning Spanish. It’s so hard when everyone switches to English for you! The people are so accommodating and amazing here and I absolutely love it!
I’m glad you got a chance to go and experience it! You’re right, that happens to me all the time where people switch to English. Just stick to your guns! I have so many reverses conversations here where I only speak Spanish and the locals only speak English back. 😆 Thanks for watching! -Jim
The same way you take the chance to practice the spanish. We do the same with our english. hehehe
I am from puerto rico and i personally love the festival
It was amazing! We loved it!
I'm from Puerto Rico too 💃🇨🇺
I lived on the corner of San Sebastián and San Justo. This brings back good memories!
You're lucky to have lived in such a beautiful place!
Hello from New York I have never been to Puerto Rico and didn’t now about the San Sebastián parade ever dou I am Italian and Puerto Rican but born and raised in New York so thanks for sharing this video with us god bless y’all always from ur friend Raymond ❤️❄️🙏🏼✌️❄️
It's not a parade, it's a festival.
Erok Da1 oh yeah iam sorry it’s a festival ❤️👍
Gracias..es la mejor cobertura que e visto de las Sanse.Estoy en el sur recibiendo toda la buena energía del norte.Voy a compartir el video.
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico but never went to the festival! I’m definitely going in 2021!

I love ❤️ your show About Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷 😊🎥🍿👍
Great video guys!! I'm a boricua living in Texas and you made me nostalgic...
Oh and another detail from San Jose Church (where it all started) ..it is actually the second oldest church in the Americas, after the Santo Domingo Cathedral in DR.
Very nice. You captured the spirit of San Sebastian Street festivities. The music, the color, the food, the artesanies. Coherent, comprehensive. Very good footage and better editing. Congrats.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve never been but looks like a lot of fun! 🙌🏽Good times.
You should definitely check it out! We had so much fun. ¡Un saludo! -May
I'm SO glad you guys made it to the festival; I've been looking forward to this video for months! I wasn't able to go this year, but hopefully I'll be able to attend again next year. Great video, glad you enjoyed the festival so much!
In Puerto Rico there is live music and food all over the place. Casinos in San Juan and Fortune Beach. The Carribe Hilton was the most exciting Hotel I have ever seen with live entertainment, dance club, casino, with breathtaking beach landscaping with big pool and several jacuzzis. The staff walks up to you to see if you want drinks. Best time I ever had.
Thanks a lot for being at the festivities!!!!
I'll time stamp the interview because I'm teaching this to my students. 2:07.
My friends, Im very proud of your work, you always do a professional video! THANK'S!!

I did!😮😃 i hope the art walk in Rincón is a little like this for us.
I lived 25 minutes away from there for 17 years and never once attended Sanse. Wish I did.
I live in Bayamon and I have never gone neither
Mejor no puedo haber quedado esta cobertura de las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián! Las pude disfrutar a través de ustedes. Gracias, gracias por todo lo que hacen y por dar a conocer nuestra cultura boricua. Un abrazo!
¡Gracias, Liza! 😊 Qué alegría poderte dar un pedacito de tus tradiciones aún en la distancia. ¡Un abrazo!
Looked like a heap of fun, even though they were all 'loco'. Interview was great as it gave me a chance to listen to the Puerto Rican accent; same with the guy who had his family business. He was cool........
Me encanto el vídeo ! Vivo en Guaynabo y hace años mi familia y yo no vamos a las fiestas pero me de ti como en ella 😄
Lol hope y'all enjoyed last sanse that place is crazy I'm glad nothing went wrong this year
Que viva Puerto Rico!!!
Great ❤️
We have a similar festival on San Sebastián's Day - January 20th here in Mérida, Yucatán. This is held next to the church of San Sebastián in the barrio of San Sebastián.
I envy you guys, this us usually sooo much fun!!!
We had a blast!
@@SpanishandGo great, its always awsome when other ppl can experiment my culture same way i did & enjoy it!
Just awsome! Thanks for sharing.
My Spanish is not yet good enough to have followed all of the conversation May had with the woman telling her about the festival. So, who do the big heads represent? Fun video!
They represent some musicians and important personalities of the island.
Hi, Karla! We made special subtitles for Spanish and English in the UA-cam player for the parts that are in Spanish. We hope that helps! Just clicking the “CC” button and select your preferred language. Liz‘s comment is correct. Thanks Liz! And thank you Karla for watching. -Jim
Im from Aguadilla ,i love dulce de coco,turrones, marallos evrything sweet lol not to mention las frituras

Gracias por todo lo que comparten. Uso sus videos de forma inversa...me ayuda s mejorar el Inglés hablado
I'm visiting in a week to shoot a video! I wish I could have made it for the Festival.
Too bad nobody mention the religious part of this. But you did great job mentioned and your interview. Live it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. Un saludo. -Jim
Saludos que bueno que fueron pero no me avisaron para ir el mismo día excelente ese es parte de lo que somos😃
¡Vamos esta noche, Domingo! ¿En donde nos vemos? Mejor mándanos un mensaje en nuestro correo electrónico por favor: hola arroba SpanishandGo punto com. Un saludo. -Jim
@@SpanishandGo estuve hoy durante el día y voy de camino qu disfruten mucho un abrazo grande a los dos.PD . a Jim le gustaron mucho cuando dice que es una locura😃
Are you guys still in Puerto Rico? If so, what's the situation there in terms of COVID restrictions? Thanks!
Eso fue antes del Covid. Navidad de 2019. El covid no había llegado a América y, mucho menos, a América Latina.
it's good to know there are choices for Vegans. I would like to visit Puerto Rico. I need to brush up on my spanish for sure. Do you haggle on food prices or just things you buy at the market. I don't think I've ever seen anyone haggle over food prices. I don't think I every wood since most of the food seems to be made from scratch. but I would like to know your thoughts on it
Hi Anita! Vegan options are sometimes hard to come by here, but you can usually find _arroz con gandules_ or _monfongo de vegetales._ There are also some vegan restaurants here. One we know of makes Puerto Rican food so you can try different Puerto Rican cuisine veganized.
Haggling over prices isn’t common here in our experience. It seems like transactions are just like in the rest of the US.
Thanks for watching!
-Jim
Buenas tardes amigos. Les felicito por su video. Es muy ilustrativo de las tradiciones de Puerto Rico. Una clarificación: España nunca tuvo colonias en América sino territorios de ultramar, que eran provincias de España. SALUDOS
My last Sanse festival I witness 12yo, 13yo, young people getting so drunk they passed out on the sidewalk.
Each Puerto Rican town has a unique Spanish idiom (e.g. how do you ask for coffee). Many even have their own local dialect but you have to ask those 60yrs+. A fun video series would be to compare these and their history to other similar idioms across the Spanish speaking world.
The guy in minute 13:58 is my cousin! Wow! The world is small! Or maybe just Puerto Rico XD
That is the second oldest basilica in the Americas.
❤ 😊
Yes. Glad to see festivals again
Yes They later started again in 1970
1:09 😂😂😂😂😂
❤️✌️😎
Tan Rico el arroz con gandules..
Q Pena que estuviera frío y secó 😏
Hi..You still in Puerto Rico?..How you guys doing these days???
Yes! We're still here. We're doing well, thanks! We're planning on making more videos about the island soon. How are you? -Jim
@@SpanishandGo ..Great!Thanks!..I am from Ponce PR..but a resident of Vancouver, Washington, enjoying your adventures..Stay safe!!
It's funny how the expletive was blurred out on the man's shirt about Donald Trump.
Yea...if that fool had a clue, his shirt would instead have the governor or mayor's name as they were the ones who helped hide all the much needed supplies from the Puerto Rican citizens as was just discovered. Making people suffer just for their own political gain, in order to make Trump look bad. I guess they have clueless people popping up in every land.
@@pep590 What would you expect. They got that loudmouth communist mayor doing the ribbon cutting, while people on the island are suffering according to the media.
Snaker Stran You are so right my friend.
@@pep590 Seriously?! Nearly 3000 dead Puerto Ricans thanks to Trump and the governor who is a REPUBLICAN. Don't give me that nonsense. Trump is lucky we don't throw him on a raft after his stunt throwing papertowels at us. Many Puerto Ricans despise Trump and the GOP for what they did to us! Trump is a racist POS.
@@jalicea1650 Oh please...put down the crack pipe. You Hate America, you Hate white Americans. Believe all the lies of the ignorant, racist masses. Trump did nothing to you, but help your 401k grow out of site, if you have one.
I'm some unknown percentage of Puerto Rican living in the states and I have only heard of the festival.
Whaaaaaaaaaat? Thats crazy! There is a couple of good festivals, like the "novilla", acabe del cafe, la china, flores, but SanSe is the biggest, usually too overcrowded for my taste, but awsome.
@@obeb787 thank you now I can do more research into them
@@taetravels8502 no problem any doubts just comment here again!
Creo q faltó contenido al video, no sentí plasmada la euforia Boricua. By the way el sorullito de maíz tiene queso por dentro y el arroz con gandules se veía genial 🤷🏻♂️.
The last time I attended these fiestas was in the 90s when it was a 2-week messy crowded sea of humanity. Someone groped me so bad walking back to the car that I felt I was given a rectal. Never again.
hay gatubelas sueltas en los partys
Sounded like you said hola niggas lol 😂
Iglesia de San José es la segunda iglesia más antigua de america
The money goes where???
Probably it does help tourism but that money does not help any families!!!
Idk, when you buy something from an artisan at the festival where do you think it goes? -Jim
Covid Corner
Ese año debieron cancelar las fiestas. No podía ser mientras unos en el sur pasándola mal los del área metropolitana fiestando. Bola de desconciderados
not a festival it’s a parade they eat coconuts
No? It's literally advertised everywhere as the "San Sebastian Street Festival." simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Sebasti%C3%A1n_Street_Festival
Que tú te dediques a comerle los cocos a tu macho, no significa que los demás lo hagan.
