Lima goes off on August 30, when it celebrates Santa Rosa de Lima, one giant street procession honoring the patron saint of Lima and the Americas. El Señor de los Milagros (Lord of the Miracles) is heralded on October 18 by a huge religious procession where locals clad in purple clothing take over the streets. In late July, the entire country is on the go as Peruvians celebrate Fiestas Patrias (National Independence Days), and Lima is no exception, with lively street parties and festivals.
