Holiday: Halloween

·      Halloween or Halloween Night is a modern celebration.

·      It is celebrated internationally on the night of October 31, especially in the United States and to a lesser extent in other places such as Spain and Latin America.

·      It has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, which means "end of summer" and was celebrated at the end of the harvest season in Ireland to start the "Celtic New Year", coinciding with the autumn solstice.

·      During that night the spirits of the deceased were believed to walk among the living, and sacred festivals and rites were performed that included communication with the dead. Furthermore, it was customary to place a lighted candle on the windows so that the dead "found their way."

·      The typical Halloween activities are the famous Trick or Treat and costume parties, in addition to bonfires, visiting haunted houses, jokes, reading scary stories and watching horror movies.

·      Since Halloween coincides with the annual apple harvest season, caramel apples (known as caramel apples outside of North America) and sweet apples are common during the holidays.

Festival: Oktoberfest

·      The Oktoberfest is the largest and most popular German beer festival in the world, held between the months of September and October in the Bavarian city of Munich since 1810.

·      It is the largest popular festival in Germany and one of the largest in the world, with average annual visits of over six million visitors.

·      It lasts from 16 to 18 days, starting on the first Saturday after September 15. It takes place in the countryside known as Theresienwiese (Prado de Teresa), in the immediate vicinity of Munich city center, near the Central Station (Hauptbahnhof).

·      Tradition begins to lean towards being dressed in typical clothes, leather shorts. They are days of joy, beer and sausages.

·      The celebration begins with a parade that is led by the mayor and represents the arrival of the Wirte, who owned the beer, at the venue. This event is considered as the opening to the event, which in turn is accompanied by a cheerful band of music; then, at 12 o'clock at night, the mayor uncovers a barrel of beer launching 12 salvos of cannon to start serving and enjoying fully.

·      Then there is also a parade in typical clothes, which has been held annually since 1950 and makes the event picturesque and enjoyable despite being 7 kilometers to go from the castle to the venue.

Cervantino Festival

The International Cervantino Festival, the most anticipated celebration of the year in Guanajuato, takes place each October for two to three weeks.

The International Cervantino Festival is a cultural buffet of music, theater, art, folklore and more! The festival is celebrated each year throughout Latin America, but Guanajuato has been officially designated the "Cervantes Capital of America."

This festival is celebrated in plazas, theaters, parks, churches and other spaces throughout Guanajuato serve as stages and showcases for the jam-packed schedule of events.

The three-week festival, now Latin America's biggest celebration of the arts, had quite humble beginnings when you compare what it was then to what it is now. It stemmed from the University of Guanajuato's student performances of short works - known as "entremeses" - penned by Miguel de Cervantes in the city's plazas and open spaces. This time-honored tradition, which began in the 1950's, officially became the International Cervantino Festival in 1972; since then, it's been unstoppable!

While in its early days Guanajuato's festival was an homage to Miguel de Cervantes, the extravaganza now celebrates all sorts of artistic creations - dance, music, film, theater, visual arts - and nationalities. In fact, it welcomes over 2,400 artists and performers from nearly 30 countries! This cultural exchange has, in recent years, welcomed everything from Chinese modern dance troupes to puppet theater, local jazz groups, and of course - in the name of tradition - Cervantes' "entremeses."
