The story
Fiestas de San Jeronimo Masaya in Masaya
Masaya, known as the cradle of Nicaraguan folklore, celebrates Saint Jerome across roughly 75 to 80 days, from the saint's ceremonial descent on September 20 through the first Sunday of December, making this the longest patron-saint festival in Nicaragua and reportedly in all of Latin America, with weekly Sunday processions and dances filling the calendar.
Masaya, often called the cradle of Nicaraguan folklore, hosts what is widely described as the longest patron-saint festival in the country and possibly in all of Latin America: the fiestas of San Jeronimo, which unfold across roughly seventy-five to eighty days each year.
