As we are already into June, I wanted to provide a quick run down on some of the events happening here in Puerto Rico during the month.
Jun 11-14, SoFo Food Festival, Old San Juan
If you love food and music then you will LOVE the SoFo Food Festival. SoFo is short for South Fortaleza Street in Old San Juan and during the festival the south end of Fortaleza Street is closed to traffic and transformed in to an out door street party with great food and great music. Many of the restaurants in the SoFo area take part in the festival.
What: SoFo Food Festival

When: June 11 – 14, 2009

June 19 – 20, Inflalandia Adventure Park
