The Giant Kite Festival. This unique festivity takes place only once a year. On November 1st. This is the day of all saints, families remember beloved people that have passed away, the cemeteries are visited and the families honor their lives. People from the Mayan communities gather around from June through November to create traditional giant Kites with special patterns and messages out of colored tissue paper.
You'll be visiting 2 of the Kaqchiquel cemeteries, walk around the towns fairs, enjoy the local gastronomy, fly a kite and relax with the nice views of the mountains. Come join us!

If you are next to Antigua at end of october - beginning of november, I would highly recommend you to go to sumpango for their local festival of kites. Either you can do it by yourself or book a trip with agencies. Personally I did it by myself taking two local buses. The principle is easy, some groups of youth build kites under different themes & sizes (the biggest are 25 ml of diameter!) and then introduce it to the audience on football pitch trying to make them fly! There is plenty food, bars, music, local crafts sellers and really a nice atsmophere! At the end of the festival there is a concert and can enjoying dancing.
