The San Sebastian Street Festival, which begins Jan. 17 and is a wild multi-day event in Old San Juan, is dedicating its celebration to the singer, in recognition not just of his show business career, but of his charitable work as well.
In 2004, Martin founded the Ricky Martin Foundation, whose mission statement reads: "The Ricky Martin Foundation advocates for the well being of children around the globe in critical areas such as social justice, education and health."
The international star issued a statement saying that he is thrilled to receive the honor from the organizers of the 38th annual festival.
