A celebration of the sun, where fire is the main event. For the parade, volunteers wearing protective capes swing metal mesh bags filled with embers.

I wish I could give you a detailed explanation of the meaning behind the festivities involving this guy, but sometimes we'd just stumble upon a parade of people wearing crazy costumes and we'd have no idea why.
