The highlight of Santa Fe's annual fiesta is the big parade, which takes place on Sunday afternoon. My sister Susan and I stood under the portal of the building housing La Casa Sena to watch it, not realizing that it lasts about 3 hours or so. As far as I can tell, virtually every resident of Santa Fe participates, shouting "Viva la Fiesta" at frequent intervals. It was a lot of fun watching all the locals enjoying this Santa Fe tradition, which has taken place every year for over 300 years now. This is a truly unique part of the U.S. and I am very happy to see that these traditions continue to survive in these fast changing times. Viva la Fiesta! Viva Santa Fe!
