Festival Internacional De Tehuacán 2012


This past weekend in Tehuacán, where I currently live, a huge festival just kicked off. The international festival of Tehuacán is a big festival for culture, art, dance, music and more. There are constant events every day and night from March tenth to the twenty-fifth, so we are super excited. Tehuacán is celebrating 352 years as a city this festival; they were founded in 1660.

To bring the festival in with a bang, we went to a parade today and saw tons of awesome costumes and floats. The floats in the parade were all handmade by students at the high schools here, and the marching bands are all from different schools in the city. Marching bands here are very legit, and all ages of students can participate if they want to. These kids are awesome, they play some of the best songs, including "Shake your booty" haha. If you aren't in the band in Tehuaceán, then you aren't cool. Check out the awesome pictures from the Parade!









We had a blast watching the parade! There are sure to be tons of other awesome events this week at the Festival!
