National fair over here in Guatemala: "La Feria de Jocotenango" (Jocotenango's Fair) held in August 15th celebrated in honor of the city patron saint, the Virgin of the Assumption.
Very crowdy but very cheerful at the same time.
The most visited in the fair are the games like this Ferris Wheel known locally as "Rueda de Chicago" (Chicago's Wheel).
Balloons for the kids.
Traditional candies for sale some of them made out of coconuts.
Apples in candy.
While it can get a bit crowded and noisy, you can experience a really nice traditional guatemalan atmosphere at the fair. I think that the best is at night but that would be for the next year.
