Antonia Jacgos from Yorkville said she was born in Durango, Mexico, and she was excited to come to Ura to celebrate the two -day animals in the city this week and focused on its original culture.
“I came here several times. I love everything-music, food, everything about it,” she said, stopping to get a shirt that was promoting the event. “I think it is great for the city to highlight and bring the city here. I used to live and work in Aurora and I hope I can stay all the time.”
Fiestas Patrias events are placed at the end of this week by the city in partnership with the Spanish Heritage Advisory Council. The celebration includes a festival held in Wilder Park on Saturday and Sunday procession, which is scheduled to start at 11 am in the center of Aurora, near Broadway and Benton Street.
From noon on Saturday, the festival in Wilder Park was distinguished by a wide range of entertainment, including the shows made by the ballet Vollergeo Koitzalektel and seven different musical works, as well as food, drinks and more.
The officials said the Fiestas Patrias celebration in Aurora is more than 15 years.
“With the majority of this city of Spanish or Latin origin, it is really a great opportunity to involve the city’s most crowded audience in the city and at the same time honoring culture and traditions,” said John Zaghloul, Director of Communications in Aurora.
Zacgolol said the celebration is providing something to all Europeans, including the return of Sunday from the Fiestas Patrias show, which was held last time in the city in 2019.
He said: “We strongly expect this offer to highlight a lot of people to spend time and see more than 40 floats.”
Jacgos Esis Portlelo’s husband said on Saturday that he had come to the festival before and enjoy food and music.
“The food here is always good and it is very authentic. It is like what we have in Mexico.”
This was the first time that this was the first time that it came to the Fiesta Patrias celebration in Aurora.
“I look forward to seeing dances and checking music and shows,” he said.
Alex Gonzalez of Montgomery said that she came to the event before and loves “that he is authentic and returns to society and returns to culture.”
“Our parents are from Mexico, so this is great,” said Gonzalez. “For me, it is important to bring out our culture’s message – to learn about our culture, food and celebration. It is very important. I look forward to showing flags today because this is what my daughter does.”
The daughter of Gonzalez Gianna Ferrier, 10, said that she will actually be at the science ceremony at this event that will include dance.
“My mother chose my dress. I feel I am a princess today,” said Gianna with a smile. “I look forward to seeing my friends. It seems that this will be fun.”
