La Fiesta Patronal de La Cruz de Huanacaxtle

From 25 April until 3 May, La Cruz hosted its quadrennial festival to Santa Cruz, its patron saint. There were carnival rides, raucous partying, ballet folklórico, blaringly loud music, bottle rockets, games of skill and chance, and lots of church services and ceremonies. It all culminated in an amazing rodeo will locals riding bulls and horses dancing to a twenty-something-piece norteño banda.
