Feria de las Flores, Day One: The Horse Parade

August 5th, 2010

We are in the middle of the Feria de las Flores (Flower Festival) Medellin’s biggest annual festival, and one of the most popular in all of Colombia.  Everyday we’ll be bringing you multiple blogs and videos about the events we’re attending, such as concerts, parades and exhibitions.  Viva la Feria!

There’s no better way to kick off a weeklong festival than with 8,000 horses and their possibly inebriated riders gallivanting down the highway—let the festivities begin!

Check out our Picasa albums to see our Feria de las Flores gallery as well as pictures from our other adventures in Colombia.  We’ll write about experiences after the craziness of the fair is over.
