Held annually in Parrita, Festival Nacional de las Mulas (Mule Festival) began as a way to have fun for a few farmers. Over the years, it has become a tradition for the people in Parrita. La Asociación para el Bienestar Parriteño (ASOBIPA) is the organizer of this event which attracts international and national ourists. The main event is the mule race which takes place on the mulódromo but that isn’t the only attraction. There are also riding competitions, the selection of Miss Parrita, dances, craft shows, livestock and agricultural shows, typical fair food and the atmosphere of La Mulita Alegre bar.
