Rain, thunder and plenty of man-made commotion are hallmarks of the traditional festivities held from June 5 through 13 in San Antonio Tlayacapan in tribute to the town’s religious patron, Saint Anthony of Padua.
Although cloudbursts are likely to occur throughout the coming week, conventional wisdom holds that the final day of the novenario (nine day celebration) marks the beginning of the annual season.
