I love Chilean traditions

The most popular Chilean tradition is the Fiestas Patrias, which are held on September 18 and 19 to commemorate the First Assembly of Government in 1810. Its Fonda and Ramada parties offer traditional food including empanadas, chicha and wine. In that places, people dance cueca and cumbia. Every house in Chile must have a Chilean flag raised. That is what it make it the  biggest traditional celebration in our country.

Another Chilean tradition is to celebrate the Fiesta de la Tirana. This festivity takes place in the northern of Chile, especially in a small town called La Tirana, near the city of Iquique. It takes place from June 12 to 17 each year where dancers and musicians dance to the diablada or the dance of the devils. The dance crew wear fearsome costumes and masks. All this is done to pay homage to the Virgen del Carmen, When I was there 3 years ago I Understood how great is it and why tens of Thousands of people participate each year.
