The Giant Kite Festival of Sumpango is performed every year in November 1, in celebration of the Day of the Dead or All Saints. This tradition of raising to heaven multicolored kites going back to ancient times, then annually, families remember deceased relatives. According to a popular legend of the municipality, each November 1st, evil spirits invade the cemetery to disturb the good cheer in the recited resting. Such discomfort caused to the souls of the dead wander restless through the streets and humble homes of Sumpango. The historical record indicates that as the problem persisted with every coming of the "Day of the Dead", the sumpagueros decided to consult with the elders. The solution recommended by the leaders of the community, was to force the withdrawal of the intruders by inducing shock of pieces of paper in the wind.

Mirko was a great guide and fun. It was great seeing all the barriletes although we left early to avoid traffic. Tip: Arrive early, take a shuttle.

I would have loved to enjoy this. After my flight being delayed and this was the first thing I saw I jumped on it And purchased a day before the event. The time on the reservation said starts at 7am so I went to sit in the lobby of my hotel and reached out to the company around 7:05 because I have not heard from them I wanted to make sure I did not miss this opportunity. I received a message 35 mins later stating they did not receive my reservation until late and they did not see it and they departed at 6:30am not 7am as shown on their site. I guess do not purchase a night before because they would leave you. A full refund was requested. I would have loved to give this experience five stars but I didn’t get a chance to experience it.
