From very the early hours, people packed San Isidro Avenue to wait for the traditional parade, an event that was filled with beauty, color, dance, and flamboyant carnival costumes.

Local musical groups performed for the crowds at the La Ceiba Carnival beginning at 8 pm and lasting until dawn along the avenue. Puerto Rican singer Elvis Crespo came on about 10 pm, full of energy, and had the audience dancing in no time with catchy merengue tunes.

Locally were representatives of Siguatepeque, San Pedro Sula, El Progreso, San Marcos de Colón, Comayagua, Trujillo, Tegucigalpa, La Mosquitia and Olancho, among others.
