A Hispanic Tradition In most Hispanic countries they are usually held in the town square, these festivals are colorful displays of pride and joy, featuring parades, games, rides, regional food, and live entertainment. Most Fiestas Patronales feature verbenas (in Spanish-speaking cultures, a verbena is a country fair, modest amusement park, and/or a dance party, especially one held at night with live entertainment by famous international or local singers), amusement rides, and street vendors, among other things, during the celebration. The famous group “Menudo” and many others began their career by singing at these events in Puerto Rico |
