Title: Colombian Independence Day Post by: wizard on July 13, 2003, 04:00:00 AM As many of you may or may not know, July 20th is Colombian Independence Day... There are festivals scheduled in the US where Colombian expatriates live... In Houston, there is a large festival scheduled with Colombian musica grupos, modelos, Paso Fino horses and events for the entire weekend...
This is a great place to get a taste of the Colombian culture and people... Not to mention possibly hook-up with a Colombiana that is already in the US... We found this link on the Colombian Consulate website in Houston under the "Events" heading... http://www.caladproductions.com/p1.php If you live in an area where there is a Colombian Consulate, checking their website usually lists events/locations for activities for Colombian nationals in that area... Buen Suerte... Mark Title: Re: Colombian Independence Day Post by: Michael B on July 13, 2003, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Colombian Independence Day , posted by wizard on Jul 13, 2003
Yeah, they are having something in Dallas, too. I forget the location, but there is a poster about it in the window of the Casa Vieja resturant (located in the shopping center on the NE corner of Beltline and Josey, Carrollton). I'll put in a plug for the resturant while I'm at it, good food, reasonable prices. On most weekends they have dancing and/or tradional music. (but I've somehow never managed to make it to that). It's run by a very nice Colombian couple and their adult children. BTW, in the picture on your link, why are they waving a Mexican flag? hee hee.

The festival is billed as a "large multi-national celebration of freedom and independence for several South American countries with large communities in Houston"... Besides, any reason to throw a party is good enough for me... hehehe... The Mexican flag was the first thing I noticed too... I especially liked the chicas wearing the Colombian flag shirts... Viva Latinas... Title: Re: Re: Colombian Independence Day Post by: Cali vet on July 13, 2003, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Colombian Independence Day , posted by Michael B on Jul 13, 2003
Does anyone know the location of the festivities in Miami? |
