Supermarket's Day

By Ofelia

In my home town in Mexico people celebrate Supermarket's Day on May 31st. This tradition would be very strange for other people but it is not strange to us.

At 5:00 a.m. the first 50 people who enter the market will get whatever they want free from the market. Also they will get tequila and coffee.

At noon people sell many kinds of food such as tingas, quezadillas, taquitos, enchiladas, posole and cookies. They also sell a lot of drinks such as horchata, jamaica, coffee,sodas and tequila.

At night young people throw a big party. They have mariachi and band music. Everybody dances; it doesn't matter how old they are. Everybody participates. They have fun. If you want to go over there you will have fun, too.
