The Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián are characterized for having several cultural activities like the procession, the parade of figures with large heads, the Fiestas dedication, the arts and crafts fair and the celebration of a commemorative mass.
Winners:
First Place $250 to Rene Dietrich - for his excellent composition of the saint leaving the church during the procession.
