2025 Dedication & Theme

NPRDP has partnered with acclaimed actor, singer, composer, and writer Lin-Manuel Miranda, along with TeeRico, to create merchandise featuring this year’s theme, "Planting Flag". The design combines the Puerto Rican flag with a ceiba tree whose roots stretch globally, symbolizing the deep roots and worldwide influence of Puerto Rican identity. The artwork was created by Puerto Rican artist Jorge Rafael Calderón.

Proceeds from official parade merch sales will raise money for the National Puerto Rican Day Scholarship Fund.
