Fourth of July in Los Barriles was actually kind of quiet as far as celebrations go. Most of the excitement in town this weekend was centered around the basketball court, which hosted a dance with live music on Saturday night. Local Mexicans, and those from nearby towns, showed up to enjoy the show. They were definitely in a festive mode. What's interesting about this town is that when there is a celebration, such as a wedding or a quinceañera, it is held at the basketball court and the whole town is invited. Music can be heard for blocks and blocks and the event goes on until the early morning hours. It is a time for everyone to come together and share in the joy of the special day. Although people are happy and in general on their best behavior, there are still police officers around in case they are needed to make it safe and enjoyable for everyone.
When it comes to local festivities, this East Cape town in Baja really knows how to bring the whole town together to celebrate.
