My favorite festivity

My favorite festivity is "Fiestas Patrias", this festivity is celebrated all years in Chile on september, the origin of this celebration was in the 1810, especifically on 18th, when in my country a group of important people made de first Board of Governors, this date was important cause it was the first step to the Chilean's independece.
For this celebration's week the chileans usually have a few of days whit holidays, in these days we make a lot of activities very distinctive of our culture. We play games like emboque, rayuela and fly kites. A lot of familys eat roast meat, empanada. As well as, the chileans drink a lot of beer and wine, but our favorite drink is the Chicha.
I love this festivity cause join my country, we forget all our problems and we only worry about the party, the "fondas" and stay whit our familys and friends.
