Puerto Ricans are celebrating their culture in Manhattan this weekend.

More than 100,000 people were expected in East Harlem Saturday for the 27th annual 116th Street Festival.

Organizers called it the largest Latin street festival in the Northeast, with 20 blocks of food, music, games and exhibits.

The celebration ran on 116th Street from Lexington Avenue to Second Avenue and Third Avenue from 106th to 122nd Streets.

The festival came one day before the Puerto Rican Day Parade, which kicks off Sunday morning at 11 a.m.

The parade runs up Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 79th Street.
