Melaque's new "sign"

New sign on the plaza

I saw this for the first time yesterday and assume it's been up for the whole festival which ended yesterday. I thought only large towns around Mexico were getting these but they are getting around to the small ones

Locals are unhappy saying it should be San Patricio and Melaque is the West end near the old hotel

Festival Gastronomico

This Friday, the 9th on the Melaque plaza from 5PM to 11. Restaurants from around the area will display their best seafood dishes. Looks like a few other things as well. 

San Patricio Festival rides are here

The Carnival rides are almost ready for Sunday. They may open them Saturday. The street in front is lined with more like that Foosball booth below. Other food or sweets booths will join the one on the corner next to OXXO. That narrows the street enough that the large intercity buses can't make the corner so they're gonna have to find another way for 10 days. Nahima had to have some sweets so we stopped.

The rides

Foosball

Lots of sweets

Festival San Patricio

It's that time again for 10 days of activities, March 8th through the 17th. Parades, music, misas (mass), fireworks and I'm sure the carnival rides will be where they usually are, a half block from the plaza.
