I knew there had to be something going on this weekend as there has been an increase in loud fireworks activity. I can even hear right now a loud concert with marimbas playing in the far distance. I figured out what it was when Cafe Kitsch posted this video below!
This is what they said on Facebook:
"Haciendo la recepción respectiva del convite Femenino en Honor a la Virgen Maria Auxiliadora, es un honor tener a estas damas tradicionalistas de la cultura Panajachelense. Bienvenidas al Lugar mas Kitsch de Panajachel. Saludos."
"By making the respective reception of the women's parade in Honor of the Virgin Mary Help of Christians, it is an honor to have these traditional ladies of the Panajachelense culture. Welcome to the most Kitsch place in Panajachel. Best regards."
Here's a photo I found of a closeup of one of the masks. I find them creepy!! What do you think?
