Saints Peter and Paul celebrated in a local parish

The day of days, for me (outside of Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and the conversion of St Paul (January 25nd), is June 29th, the feast day of the martyrdom of Sts Peter and Paul. The local parish, which is a stone throw from my new house, is called San Pedro. Every year the parish has a Mass (with the bishop) and this year a person donated the Crystal chandelier that is pictured in the above photo.
The parish paid for the mariachis...here you can see they're just warming up for the folks just getting out of Mass.
The chairs set out for tacos, enchiladas, etc and drinks (though I didn't see any beer, otherwise I probably would have stayed longer!).
A view of the tents from the end of the street. In attendance for Mass (which the church was plugged) around 500 people. Not bad for a Mass in the middle of the week!
