Hundreds waved red, white and blue flags along Roxbury streets and Franklin Park Sunday for the raucous annual Puerto Rican parade and festival.

The lively 57th annual Puerto Rican Parade in Boston kicked off at noon, starting on Columbus Street across from Roxbury Community College and winding through the neighborhood to end on Piedmont Drive. The festival, which started on Saturday at 2 p.m., continued Sunday after the parade with vendors and performers filling Franklin Park.

The festival included food, artisans, a Ferris Wheel and other rides and a health fair and featured numerous artists from the Boston area and beyond performing music from hip hop to salsa.

Ahead of the weekend festivities, Goya Foods donated 30,000 pounds of food to Catholic Charities of Boston in recognition of the 57th anniversary of the Puerto Rican Festival of Massachusetts. Throughout the week, volunteers from the Latino Law Enforcement Group of Boston, Boston Police and Suffolk County Sheriff’s Departments helped unload the products and deliver 3,000 bags of food to local community members.

Summer events will continue with the Feast of Saint Agrippina from Aug. 1 through 4 in the North End, the Colombian Independence Festival on Border Streeton Aug. 10 in East Boston, and Feast of Madonna Della Cava from Aug. 8 to 11 in the North End.
