My Favorite Festivity

Hi, today I will talk about my favorite festivity, and It is the National Holidays. Chile celebrates the National Holidays in September, during two days, the September 18th and September 19th, but may be four days, depending if it is before or after a weekend. 

In this festivity we celebrate the first assembly of government, this event  started the independence of Chile from Spain. This happened in 1810, in Santiago, the capital of the country.

Spain was invaded by Napoleon, then the Spanish cities did not recognise the brother of Napoleon as governor of the country. Then they started to organise different assemblies for the country. Then  Latin America copied the  Spanish system, but they were not for independence but to support the king in his prison. Later began the independence process.

The celebration is very cool, because in the different parks of the country, people make a lot of shelter, remembering  the dive, place where celebrating in the period of the Spanish colony. The people are going to drink every night, to eat a lot and dance.

I like this festivity, because it is very happy, the people are happy on this date, dancing a lot and drinking. I like the drink of this date, for example the earthquake and the maize liquor. 

This date is the best, I like it very much.
