The Fiesta Grande de Chiapa de Corzo, an annual festival that takes place in January in Chiapa de Corzo, a municipality in Chiapas, Mexico’s southernmost state, honors three saints with traditional dances, food, music and art. Cross-dressing is also common during the festival. A group of friends, seen here, takes a break during the festivities.

Mexico City, Mexico

Raymundo Dominguez, 33, sells balloons in on Jan. 5 Mexico City the day before Three Kings Day, which is considered the end of the Christmas season. The day commemorates the Christian belief that three wise men from distant lands traveled to worship and present gifts to infant Jesus. To celebrate, children tie letters with their gift wishes to the balloons, and send them up in the sky for the kings to read.
