Taking place in mid-November, the Jayuya Indian Festival revives Taíno Indian music, food, games and costume along with a parade. There is also a beauty pageant featuring Indian dress. This fantastic festival is not to be missed by those interested in indigenous cultures.

The costumes are of particular interest and make for excellent photographic subjects. The Taino Indian music at the Jayuya Indian Festival is a unique blend of sounds and will surprise most listeners. Over 100 artists and performers participate in the Jayuya Indian Festival and if you are in Puerto Rico during the week that it takes place, be sure to join in the festivities.
