I mentioned in an earlier post that they do their independence day celebration big here - stretching it over several days.

The biggest celebration in Temuco was on the grounds of the local soccer stadium. As best as I can understand it, the above sign is saying "The celebration of Chileness."

I didn't take very good pictures but it was like a fair with many food stands, jump houses, entertainment and places to try win prizes throwing balls, darts etc.

This was an attraction we hadn't seen before. 2 or 3 kids got inside this inflated round thing and made it move around by trying to climb up the walls.
