Calendas

Floats, music, fireworks, and dances.

Less well-known but striking, this celebration announces the arrival of Christmas. It is dedicated to Baby Jesus’s godparents, who take him on a procession from their house to the neighborhood church. Parishioners prepare floats to parade to the cathedral.
