Women in traditional attire can be seen here enjoying the festival. They wear a black wrap skirt, solid colored sash or the back strap woven belt from nearby Tequila and lace adorned blouse. During the festival I saw a number of different blouses some with ribbons sewn on in the form of a bow and other in the form of a flower. The large collar is a typical feature of the blouse.
