Guanajuato Balloon Parade

A pretty effective marketing technique for any event that comes to town is to have a parade promoting the event, as we've seen a few times in San Miguel. After dinner, as we were leaving our Italian restaurant, we saw a flotilla of pickup trucks with baskets and live flame throwers in them. It turns out this weekend is the Guanajuato Hot Air Balloon festival. Saturday night is the "noche magica" (magic night) where they illuminate the balloons at night. It's on our calendar.
