Winds of feasts and joy are blowing in the islands! As is customary every year, the Archipelago celebrates its Patronal Feasts on 30 November, in honor of the saint that bears its name: San Andres. Governor Ronald Housni called on the community to enjoy this celebration in peace and harmony.

The official launch of the 2016 Patronal Feasts will take place on Monday, 28 November at the Government auditorium where Miss Islas’ queen candidates, special guests and sponsors who will share details with the press on programming and organization for such a special event for islanders.

“The patronal feasts seem to me very important. Not only because of the cultural and recreational space it offers but because it serves as integration scenario between raizals and mainlanders”, said Gustavo Suárez, resident of San Andres.

For five days in San Andres, we will all enjoy our culture through the gastronomy, music, rhythm and colorful Caribbean which characterizes our insular region.
