Even a category 4 hurricane will not dampen the Christmas Spirit here in Puerto Rico.
This week from November 6 – 12, Plaza Las Americas will be hosting their traditional Christmas Food Festival.
Around 30 chefs from around the island will be showcasing typical Puerto Rican Christmas dishes featuring produce from Plaza Las Americas very own Placita. In addition to help those struggling after Hurricane Maria, Plaza will be distributing foods created by the chefs to homes for the elderly and community centers.
During the Christmas Food Festival and the run up to Christmas, the merchants from Placita @ Plaza will be located in the corridors of the mall in order to support and raise awareness to the agricultural sector in Puerto Rico that has been severely damaged by Hurricane Maria.
The flavor of the wonderful Christmas season has already arrived in Plaza Las Americas. What better way to celebrate than with the celebration of their traditional Christmas Food Fest! More than 30 chefs will be the guests who, until Sunday, November 12, will be sharing recipes of typical dishes with the public, from the kitchen located in the Main Fountain of the shopping center.
