Celebration of Three Kings/Los Tres Reyes

This is a festival that was being celebrated in Campeche on the 5th January. In the morning it looked like it was going to be one big street party. Some of the streets around the square had been closed off. Behind the town Hall were dozens of market stalls. They were selling everything from kids' toys to Tshirts and of course, food and drink. Not far from my hotel they had blocked off the street and were setting up a disco - no sleep tonight then! In the evening the town was packed. People were enjoying themselves and music was in the air. The following day it appeared the town was still celebrating. When I arrived in Merida, I saw they were preparing for a party in the square. there was alarge stage in one corner and the band were practicing. But this was not a continuation of 3 Kings, it was a preparation to celebrate 468 years of the inauguration of Merida. Mexico certainly knows how to deliver a good party. the great thing about it is that people of all ages can come out and enjoy themselves.
