Nicaraguan holidays blend religious observances with historical commemorations. Holy Week (Semana Santa) is marked by religious processions and beach outings. Independence Day on September 15th features parades and patriotic events. The feast of Santo Domingo de Guzmán in Managua involves a ten-day celebration in August. The Palo de Mayo festival on the Caribbean coast is a vibrant Afro-Caribbean celebration. The Purisima and Griteria festivities in early December honor the Immaculate Conception. The San Sebastian festival in Diriamba in January features folkloric dances.
