       RECOGNIZING THE PUERTO RICAN ALLIANCE OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA

  (Mr. SUBRAMANYAM asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Puerto Rican 
Alliance of Northern Virginia for hosting and organizing their third 
annual festival.
  Virginia is home to a vibrant Puerto Rican community, and the 
festival celebrates the community's culture and contributions. It 
brings in vendors, volunteers, music, and a vibrant community.
  The festival made history in 2023 as the first-ever Puerto Rican 
festival in the DMV region. Each year, the festival draws over 10,000 
attendees and continues to showcase the community's culture. The 
festival made history again in 2024 with over 18,000 guests in 
attendance.
  I thank the Puerto Rican Alliance of Northern Virginia, and I wish 
them a great event this year.
