The town folks of Calaca seemed like they had a fruitful celebration of CALACAtchara Festival 2010. CALACAtchara was derived from ‘Calaca’ and ‘atchara’ – the town’s main product. Atchara is made of pickled papaya, usually combined with carrot or bell pepper strips and raisins.
The festivities started on October 15 with the celebration of Caracol de San Raphael (Calaca’s patron saint).
It was a week-long celebration which concluded on Oct. 24, the town’s fiesta. The festive activities were made for everyone in Calaca as they had activities for both young and old. CALACAtchara Festival showed how these people work to make each and everyone happy.
Here are some of the highlights of this year’s Calacatchara Festival. Click to enlarge the photos.
