Traditions in Venezuela

Venezuelan traditions are a vibrant mix of indigenous, African, and European influences. The Dancing Devils of Yare, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, is a colorful Corpus Christi celebration. Tamunangue, a folk tradition in Lara, combines music, dance, and stick fighting. The Feria de la Chinita in Maracaibo honors the patron saint with music and lights. Joropo, the national dance, is performed at many celebrations. Holy Week sees elaborate processions, especially in Caracas. The Monkey Dance of Caicara de Maturín is a unique fusion of indigenous and African traditions. Baseball is fervently followed, often accompanied by the rhythm of drums in the stands.
