I feel Colón is a town of youngens. Either that or these people have found the miracle potion to reverse aging! And they party hard! I've been here slightly over one week and the amount of beer i have witnessed being consumed would put Oktoberfest to shame. Okay, i exaggerate but they still know how to have a good time.
The second and third week of august in this town is when the Fiesta Ciudad Colon takes place where there's a street fair with music, dancing and lots of traditional food and noise. Also in August is Tope, a traditional horse parade where hundreds of riders come out and show their horses and skills. "The tradition began in colonial times as a horse race to commence the Fiestas de San Juan, a horse-racing and bullfighting event. It was customary for everyone to come out to see who the best jockeys and the fastest horses were."
