A New Summer Festival for Todos Santos?

I was standing in the bank yesterday and happened upon my friend Jaunita Salgado and saw that she had a informational announcement about a potential new festival for Todos Santos, Festival del Mango. Hmmm….mangos. It is in the tentative planning stage but the dates are to be July 31, August 1 and 2. There will be the normal festival fair, i.e. dance, music and food but also some new ideas, like a walking race and a bicycle race. I think there were other potential events but I can’t recall them now.
