Quick! Hurry! What are you waiting for? It’s time for Fiestas Julias in Santa Ana. These festivities run throughout the month of July and include numerous street parades and interesting cultural events. The Fiestas are in honor of the city’s patron saint and namesake, Santa Ana. Throngs of devout believers head to the Santa Ana cathedral to pay homage to her. 
Not religious? No problem! One man’s religious celebration is another’s excuse to party! The sounds of local music fill the streets, carnival rides are set up through the town, and an overall carefree attitude permeates the air. The highlight of the month comes with the crowning of the Fiesta Queen, after which she is carried through the streets surrounded by an entourage of colorful clowns and local musicians. The whole town of Santa Ana has spent the last several months preparing for this month-long celebration. You better believe it is an event not to be missed.
