St. Mary's Parish Festival 2011 Social Xolotlan Dancing Group.mpg [11:41]
The annual St. Mary's Parish Festival in honour of Our Lady of Freedom (Maria SS. Della Libera) is held on the first Sunday of August. It consists of Mass in the small church where the Italian community gathers along with others from throughout the city of London, Ontario and surroundings followed by mostly Italian entertainment into the night. It is like spending a day in Italy without ever leaving London. The hospitality of the parish is widely known. In short a great day for all to enjoy. THe Xolotlan Dancing Group thrilled the crowd with the dances of Nicaragua.

Traditional Nicaraguan dances. which happened in Diriamba for the Patron Saint parties of St. Sebastian They dress up like the Spaniards who conquered them and make fun of them with the huge crazy hats and masks. Then they do like a theater piece, illustrating how "macho" they are and how they took advantage of the Indigenous people here. The man with the big yellow fabric circle is supposed to be a toro and he basically pushes back the crowd to make room for the dancers and taunts the Spanish.
