Beyond the traditional fiesta activities, attendees will notice that love is in the air. One will often notice young adults walking in circles around the main plaza. As tradition goes, an admirer can purchase a rose from a vendor and present it to a lady that has captured his eye. The two will then stroll around the plaza to get to know one another. If the purchaser is rejected, he must then search out another to give his love to.
