Picnic-In-A-Box or Fiestas Patrias Boxes


Fiestas Patrias Boxes
Which translate to Patriotic Holiday boxes, or as I had called them when I saw them in Jumbo… picnic in a box.





  
                                           

 So what is Fiestas Patrias? This is Spanish phrase meaning "Patriotic Holidays" or "National Holidays". The Fiestas Patrias of Chile consists of two days:

September 18, in commemoration of the proclamation of the First Governing Body of 1810, and marking the beginning of the Chilean independence process.

September 19, known as the "Day of the Glories of the Army".

Unofficially, the celebration can last for around a week, depending on when it falls (for example, if the 18th is a Wednesday, celebrations extend from Saturday the 14th, through Sunday the 22nd). Most schools and jobs declare a week-long vacation for the holiday. Together with Christmas, the fiesta is the most important time of the year for most Chileans. 

So I will let you  know what I did for  Fiestas Patrias


VIVA Chile!!!!!!!
