Anational holiday means something different for everyone. For some it means enjoying a long weekend, for others it is a day of get together and celebrations. A day where you meet family and friends, enjoy delicious food and a night sky lit by fireworks.
In Chile, September 18th is such a day. September 18th is not just one day of celebrating, it’s a whole week! Or rather the whole September, to be honest. Chile really takes it up a notch.
Live music will be played, and you will certainly get to see traditional Cueca, Chile’s national dance.
If you are celebrating Dieciocho in Santiago the biggest and most famous Fonda is the one in Parque O’Higgins. You’ll be in the middle of an adventure, celebrating a colorful, loud and unique Fonda with Chileans from all over Santiago. If it is your first Dieciocho, a word of warning: protect your belongings from pickpockets (like at any folk festival) and go home by taxi.
