The streets of Quito overflow with music and people looking for fun. Squares and public spaces play host to a huge variety of shows. Dancers, musicians and actors exhaust themselved during the non-stop spectacles. The Fiestas de Quito are about traditional cuarenta card games, wooden gokart racing, inter-neighbourhood games, colourful floats and fun parades. The Fiestas de Quito, with all their colour, vibrancy and excitement take place every year in the last week of November and the first week of December. ¡Que viva Quito!
