- Exploding Color and Masks — oversized, hand-crafted masks and outrageous costumes fill the streets; it’s the single most photogenic part of the festival and a riot of color you can wander right into, not just watch from the sidelines.
- Live Street Music & Drumming — pounding percussion, merengue and bachata spill out from every corner; the music isn’t a background track, it’s what pulls people into spontaneous dances and keeps the energy electric all day and night.
- Theatrical Parades and Characters — expect cheeky satire, costumed characters that interact with the crowd, and small theatrical skits between floats; those playful, sometimes chaotic moments are what make the festival feel alive and local rather than a staged show.
- Artisan Masks and Workshops — local craftspeople sell and demo

- Artisan Masks and Workshops — local craftspeople sell and demo mask-making and costume work, so you can inspect the techniques up close or even try a quick workshop; it’s a rare chance to see how the festival’s look is made, not just worn.
- Street Food & Nighttime Vibe — food stalls, cheap local drinks, and lingering street parties give the festival its communal late-night atmosphere; the taste, heat and crowds turn the whole experience into living culture rather than just a daytime parade.
