A few scenes from the
Egipto neighborhood's annual
Three Kings Festival, which kicked off today and continues thru Monday. Altho the event is nominally Catholic, it's basically gluttony, alcohol and loud music. Egipto is a rough neighborhood located above La Candelaria. The festival is being held on La Circunvular Avenue.
This year's was the festival's 100th anniversary, reports
El Tiempo.
