The story
Fiesta de la Santisima Trinidad in Trinidad
Trinidad is the only city in Bolivia, and reportedly in Latin America, where the founding anniversary and the patron saint feast fall on the same day, so the Fiesta de la Santisima Trinidad, known locally as Chope Piesta, functions as both a religious feast and a civic birthday. Its date shifts between late May and early June with the movable Trinity Sunday. Expect the jocheo de toros, palo encebado, machetero dances and the election of the Moperitas across a week-long program.
Trinidad holds a distinction shared by no other city in Bolivia or Latin America: its founding anniversary and its patron saint feast fall on the same date, so the Fiesta de la Santisima Trinidad doubles as the city's birthday.
