Guatemala commemorates their independence from Spain on September 15th.  This photo was taken during their celebrations in Antigua, Guatemala.  Many local bands parade the city streets in an all day long competition.  If you are visiting Antigua during the weeks leading up to Independence Day, expect to be woken up every morning by bands practicing in the schools around the city.
