This reenactment takes place every year in Pes�.  Friday is a very somber day, no loud music or television.  No alcoholic beverages in public and no alcohol on sale.  Saturday, however is usually a raucous day with a discotec that starts after the Mass on Saturday night and continues until dawn on Easter.  Hey, I just live here.
