In Venezuela there are many cultural events associated with the Day of the Innocents, but I'll talk a bit about being held in my hometown, Churuguara in the Sierra de Falcón.
There is tradition, as in almost all villages of the Sierra Falconiana, celebrate the Day of the Innocents, or, as he says more commonly, Fools Day, so:
A group of friends usually boys, although in recent years also insert the commands vi girls included, are looking for a bunch of old clothes, the more bizarre and ugly is better: women dresses, bags of clothing, brightly colored socks, shoes descombinados, etc. .. and become a group of masks is not very artistic, with cardboard boxes, usually grotesque faces painted them, or get máscras improvised ... in general the idea is not something elaborate but people do not recognize you, and dress ... What else? "crazy."
By custom, sel group should keep a devil, which is usually the leader of that (has to have their horns) and also have a group of at least one musical cuatro and maracas player, and of course, never Lack playing the fool that walks like a grater charrasca ... and go through the streets of the town dancing, always followed by a crowd of onlookers and kids.
People, when they hear music and noise coming from your house and gives money to the Mad, and they dance to please the audience, the more ugly and funny best, of course ... musicians usually are not disguised, they are paid to accompany the loonies on the path of the streets.
Sometimes it takes several groups of Locos on the same day on the street, some more organized than others, but always lead to curiosity and who will always get done monkeying silver.
At the end of the day, because as they say here, share the pig, paid to the musician or band that accompanied them, and then ... But what else to drink? at the end of the day drunks is what's left.
Falcon In other towns, like San Luis and Cabure, I've seen some costumes are very nice, not as outlandish they do in my town, but the idea is the same: to dance and that trausentes and people the houses are of silver.
And in the Vela de Coro, are the most famous Crazy Fool, year after year throw a party if I remember correctly, includes a mass and everything, like a Feast, and the "crazy" make a Travel with colorful costumes, which is an event that many people travel to go see. (See image)
In my village, come out again Fools Day Kings and repeat their antics through the streets of Churuguara.
