Celebration in Los Angeles by Amina K.

Famous Celebration in Los Angeles

There are a lot of festivals that are held in Los Angeles during the year, but I’m going to talk about my favourite one, which is The Cinco De Mayo Festival.

Cinco De Mayo festival commemorates the Mexican victory against the French forces on May 5th, 1862. The first people who celebrated this festival were a group of Mexican-Americans and Latinos who lived in California.

The most amazing events of Cinco de Mayo are are held in L.A, like the Fiesta Broadway or a mile-strong street fair in Downtown L.A. , where there are Mexican music, that combines salsa music and folkloric dancers, games and cuisine.

I think that it is the best festival that takes place in L.A, because you can have an amazing time by watching the all the people enjoying that day.

Fiji week

FIJI WEEK

Fiji Week, a week of festivals culminating in Fiji Day on the 10 of October (which is the independence day as well) is celebrated annually with a different theme chosen every day.

This celebration dates back to 1970 when Fiji Islands got their independence from British colonial rules. The ceremonies last for a week and they include religious and cultural performances. Every day of the week is different: there are carnivals and shows displaying performances that shows religious and cultural diversity.

Nowadays, these celebrations are gradually dying out because of they are boycotted by ceveral pronument politicians and other public figures who accuse the government of using the occasion to promote a political agenda.
