Patronal festival

Okay kiddo, so a patronal festival is a big celebration that people have to honor their saint or the person they think is looking out for them. Let's say your family thinks that Saint Mary is taking care of them. So, you would have a special day to celebrate Saint Mary's life and be thankful for her help.

Usually, there are lots of fun things that happen during a patronal festival. People might have a parade with music and dancing, eat lots of delicious food, decorate their homes and streets with colorful decorations, and play games.

It's like having a big birthday party for your special saint, and everyone in your community gets to join in on the fun. It’s a way to come together and celebrate the person who is important to you and show gratitude for all of their help and protection.
