Understanding the Charro Days Tradition
Charro Days is a unique bi-national festival held in Brownsville, Texas, celebrating the shared heritage between the US and Mexico. The event honors the Mexican cowboy, known as a charro, and features days of parades, street dances, and music. Our festival scenes capture the spirit of this event, allowing children to color traditional garments like the serape and embroidered jackets. Teachers often use these sheets during local history lessons or as part of a broader Hispanic Heritage Month curriculum.
Traditional Outfits and Colors
The clothing worn during the festivities is bright and highly detailed. When coloring the dancers and musicians, kids can use vibrant reds, greens, and yellows for the wide skirts of the folklorico dresses. Mariachi suits are typically black or white with silver or gold embroidery along the pants and jackets. Adding a wide-brimmed hat completes the iconic look. You can encourage children to use fine-tip markers or colored pencils to fill in the intricate lace and ribbon details on the dancers' outfits.
Parades and Horsemanship
A major highlight of the celebration is the series of parades featuring elaborate floats and skilled riders. The parade floats section includes illustrations of escaramuza riders, who perform synchronized equestrian routines while riding sidesaddle in traditional dresses. Kids can color the decorated horses and the festive floats that bring the community together for this historic border town fiesta.
