On January 3, 2025, global superstar Bad Bunny made a surprise appearance at the Ángel L. Rodríguez Rivera court in Almirante Sur, Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. This event, part of the “Bonita Tradición” initiative by his Good Bunny Foundation, aimed to promote love for Puerto Rican traditions ahead of the Día de Reyes celebration. Through this initiative, the artist reinforced the values of family, art, music, and sports, while connecting with his hometown community.

Gift-Giving with a Purpose

The event was more than a festive gathering; it was an opportunity to inspire. Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, distributed gifts to children and youth, including musical instruments, sports equipment, and art supplies. The goal was clear: to empower the next generation by showing them that dreams are within reach. “This kid came from this neighborhood and has raised Puerto Rico’s flag around the world. Efforts like these are to convince them that anything is possible,” said the artist.

Engaging Activities for All Ages

Participants enjoyed a variety of entertainment, including live music, karaoke, face painting, and performances like “El Niño Foca” by Circo Fest, which featured elements of magic. Families shared meals and treats like popcorn, cotton candy, and piraguas while children received boxes for the Three Kings. These moments highlighted the importance of Puerto Rican cultural traditions during the holiday season.

Expanding the Holiday Spirit

The January event was an extension of the foundation’s December activities, where “Bonita Tradición” brought joy to hospitals, youth centers, and shelters across Puerto Rico. These initiatives provided not only gifts but also essential items to those in need. Special visits from influential figures added to the celebrations, delivering hope and happiness to young participants.
