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...

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...

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...
