Questions, answered

Everything you might be wondering.

Nope — Bandera Bandera Passport is a web app. Just scan the QR code on any participating poster, tap the link, and you're in. You can add it to your home screen in two taps so it looks and works like a real app, with its own icon and splash screen.

Visit any participating business along Paseo Boricua, make a purchase, and ask the staff to scan the QR code. Your stamp lands instantly with a satisfying punch.

As you collect stamps, you unlock tiered prizes at milestones along the way — each one is a real reward you can claim in the app. Collect every stamp before the end of Summer 2026 and you'll earn the limited-edition Bandera Bandera Passport grand prize. Participating stops also offer discounts and perks exclusive to passport holders.

Completely free. No purchase required to sign up — though we hope you'll discover a new favorite spot or two.

Locals, visitors, families, foodies — anyone who wants to celebrate Puerto Rican culture and support the small businesses that make Paseo Boricua what it is.

It's the stretch of Division St in Humboldt Park, Chicago, between California Ave. and Western Ave., marked at each end by the giant steel Puerto Rican flags. Every participating business sits closely along those four blocks.
