About Festival of Saint Francis of Assisi
The Festival of Saint Francis of Assisi is an event celebrated annually in Quibdó, the capital of Chocó Department (Colombia), where religious and pagan expressions alternate. They start on 20 September and run until 5 October. They are a symbol of the Afro-Chocoan cultural identity, updating both the way in which the religious experience is assumed, as well as what is essential in the domain of music, dance and theater. It is a complex symbolic space that is part of the religious, social and political life of this population. Being a great reference of the Chocó culture, it is possible to see.
