Nicaragua: Santo Domingo Festival Could Get Rowdy

The Santo Domingo festival, which runs through Aug. 10 in Managua, can become unruly, especially on the final night, when crowds of drunken revelers carry on into the wee hours. Traffic jams usually occur and gangs of pick-pockets often work the crowds. The 10-day festival celebrates the patron saint of Managua and is marked on the first and last day by a procession and horse parade. Large crowds gather on those days and disruptions are such that the U.S. Embassy advised its employees to avoid the festival streets from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
