Parranda de San Pedro, Guatire y Guarenas

The Parranda de San Pedro is a religious and cultural celebration in the Miranda state towns of Guatire and Guarenas, rooted in the oral traditions of enslaved Africans on colonial-era sugar plantations. Costumed performers, including a cross-dressed 'María Ignacia' character, dance and sing through the streets in honor of Saint Peter.
