endless San Antonio fiesta

Theoretically this is a novena that runs from the 5th through 13th of June but they are going strong with Mexican punk rock (?!) at 10:20 p.m. on the 14th. Nothing against fiestas, but Lakeside's loudest apparently now goes on for two weeks straight. Anybody know what's up?

They're enjoying themselves?

they brought the rain

Yes.
As the fiesta would normally end on Th. night, permission was given to continue the fiesta (festivities) through the weekend.  The vendors and amusements need all the help they can get to come out ahead as the weather slowed things down on a couple of days.
Best of all, it had St. Anthony's approval for a 12 day novena.....and he's the man.

You do NOT want to mess with Saint Anthony.

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.

I read somewhere it ends tonight.

Not all fun and games. My gardener told me that his son was stabbed at this festival the other night. He apparently looked at a cholo the wrong way. He is in the Hospital Civil in GDL.

Loudest ever in San Antonio... are they hooked up to the priest's sound system, or what? But in lower Chula Vista, the music sounds great! Some hot band last night, I'll say. And a couple of the bandas during the week had excellent horn sections.
