Los Locos Parade
Date: Friday, June 16
Topic: Events
Colorful costumes, music, dance and candy are the main ingredients of this unique carnival that dates from the 18th century. The Los Locos parade is a mixture of local religious traditions and popular celebrations in which the faithful thank San Antonio for the favors and miracles they have received during the year, showing their gratitude by dancing and handing out candy. Los Locos, the "crazy people," are the participants in a parade that capture all onlookers' attention with their eccentric dancing and costumes, some of which reference current political, entertainment and cultural events of the country. This election year, no doubt the main characters in the parade will be candidates for Mexico's federal offices.
The most traditional and craziest of all the parades in the San Miguel de Allende brightens San Miguel this June.
