Traditions

To kick things off, calle ocho(8th street) is not just a local place for prostitution. In fact, 8th street holds a very famous festival every year. People come to this festival to represent their heritage. Although the festival was originated by Cubans, all types of latin americans participate. For example, Columbians, Hundurans, Chileans, etc... The best part about the festival is the music and the food. I love the fact that I can eat foods from different cultures. Also, the live performances are great.
If you havent been to this festival you might want to prepare for something extremely new. My first time attending the festival I was so overwhelmed because there was so much people, millions! Also, its really really loud. Its not the normal environment. Its a huge part and people want to have fun and represent there heritage.
I suggest you have some Peptobismol it your fridge. If you're a pig like me that eats anything and everything, prepare for some heavy duty stomach aches. Over 50 cultures equals over 50 different types of food. Just think about that. At this festival every culture serves its famous dishes. If you love food then you will love the festival. You can smell the food from blocks away. Satisfaction garuanteed.
