When the mainland is blanketed in winter, Puerto Rico bursts with color, rhythm, and joy. SanSe Puerto Rico, officially known as Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián, transforms the streets of Old San Juan into a four-day celebration of music, dance, and tradition.
For travelers ready to swap snow for sunshine, Amour Getaways curates cultural experiences that immerse you in the island’s warmth — both the climate and the people.
SanSe marks the grand finale of Puerto Rico’s festive holiday season. It began as a humble religious procession in honor of Saint Sebastian, growing over decades into the island’s most anticipated cultural celebration.
From January 15–18, 2026, Old San Juan will come alive with colorful “cabezudos” (giant papier-mâché heads), live music, artisan markets, and street food that captures Puerto Rico’s creative spirit.

SanSe is more than a festival — it’s a heartbeat of Puerto Rican identity. Visitors are welcomed into a city alive with energy, creativity, and cultural pride.

According to Puerto Rico Day Trips, the event attracts hundreds of thousands of locals and visitors, blending cultural tradition with modern festivity.
During SanSe, Old San Juan becomes one giant celebration. Parade processions move through cobblestone streets, live music fills open plazas, and spontaneous dancing breaks out at every corner. Local artisans showcase handmade jewelry, carvings, and paintings, while vendors serve traditional favorites like bacalaítos, alcapurrias, and piraguas.
