Our dog, Leaf (that’s what he had in his mouth when we adopted him at the shelter), went crazy every time firecrackers exploded, which was every evening of the week-long celebration. There was no way to calm him, and he was up all night howling and scratching at our doors. Fiestas del pueblo were not celebrated at our house because of this. With time, Leaf grew older and lost his hearing, and things got better for all of us. Now that I live in the middle of the city, I miss the deep festive sounds of drums echoing in the mountains beyond our backyard.
Every town in Mexico has a traditional patron saint party that is celebrated each year. I grew up in a house in the outskirts of Mexico City which was surrounded by such towns. This meant that at least four times a year, we would hear loud, traditional music in the distance.
