Fiestas de Quito
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!

The celebration of Quito’s founding by the Spanish on 6th December 1534 is characterized every year by diversity. The celebrations begin on the last Friday of November with an official opening ceremony in San Francisco square, in the heart of the historic centre.

Join in the celebration --- ¡Qué viva Quito!

Las fiestas se Quito son muy lindas, pero les recomiendo hacer mas actividades para que los quiteños la pasemos super bien como lo hizo Guayaquil en sus fiestas julianas
