The jumbo screen showing the cup is setup in the middle of city.Stalls selling festival gifts such horns,toy hammers which are the tradition which replaced the giant garlic flowers but those are still available.As each hour passes more and more people are heading into town,heading to the river for the live music,firework show and more.Now i know most of you have been to mardi gras or some type of event like that.Well imagine mardi gras time 3 in one night!Well that's what happened!Streets are packed with people hitting each other with hammers or getting tapped in the head with garlic celebrating having a great time,various foods being sold like bifahnas which is pork slow cooked in a tomato based sauce shredded and served on a bun,sangria,beers,churros,burgers,you name it was there!Every alley, side street,car,subway was packed with joyous people,from elderly folk to little tikes only 3 and 4 months old!The party really gets going after the firework show at midnight which is 30 minutes of light fun.During the show live music is played with the party moving down 6-7 miles to another part of town till 8-9am!I was with Rafael and the two kids and two other families,so when the fireworks were done we headed out.I'm not a big partier but you should come check this festival,you will have alotto talk about!
