The most celebrated festivities are the carnival, which is the most popular
festival in the province of Bolívar, as well as in San Miguel on September
25, where the patron saint festivities are celebrated.
In the carnival, it is celebrated with different acts such as the carnival
songs contest, its various parades with its colorful costumes, as well as
dusting off, singing water with friends, in short, it is a great party in our
Province. The favorite party is the carnival because it is celebrated with
family and friends doing different activities such as making tamales,
chicha, singing carnival ballads, going out to taste the parades, playing
with friends, that is what I know. If we need vacations in our lives since
we need to rest from the same daily routine and be able to share a little
more with the family
