Festival Location: Nobsa, Colombia

Festival Type(s): Bizarre Festivals, Community Festivals, Fashion Shows

The place, the intriguingly named town of Nobsa in Columbia, the event, why it's International Poncho Day of course.

Nobsa displays its penchant for the Poncho for a day each May, in an event designed to promote the local artisan's handicraft.

International Poncho Day sees all and sundry in Nobsa decked out in the kitschy over-cloth - hell, even parrots, dogs and the local church get to poncho up for the day.
