Festivals in Cuenca
Cuenca's Christmas Eve Pase del Niño parade, or the Procession of the Child, is a colorful
mixture of the religious and the profane. It is a festival of thanksgiving that combines Catholic
and indigenous traditions.
The parade usually lasts more than eight hours, and it includes floats and cars decorated
with flowers, fruits and vegetables. Bands, dancers, street performers, and various Biblical
characters participate, and the infant Jesus is carried through towns and villages. The
parade takes place on Christmas Eve but the Pase del Niño celebration begins the first
Sunday after Advent and continues until Camival in March. Besides this celebration, Chnst-
mas in Cuenca also means nightly firework shows, concerts, and craft sales.
