The Placentia FiberCity\u00ae team in partnership with GigabitNow are proud to be one of the sponsors at the annual Placentia Tamale Festival.<\/p>\n
Now in its 27th<\/sup> year the festival draws in crowds of 20,000 plus to Sante Fe Avenue to celebrate the Mexican meal.<\/p>\n
The festival has grown from a tradition started by some small businesses of putting out tables with free pan dulce<\/em>,\u00a0champurrado<\/em>\u00a0and coffee on the sidewalk during\u00a0las posadas<\/em>, a Catholic religious tradition, along Santa Fe Avenue. The faithful dressed up as Mary and Joseph while leading processions that re-enacted the Holy Family\u2019s Biblical trek to Bethlehem.<\/p>\n
Each year more and more people came to celebrate las posadas<\/em> and the Tamale festival officially began in 1994.<\/p>\n
The Placentia FiberCity\u00ae team in partnership with GigabitNow, Placentia\u2019s internet service provider on the network will be at the festival.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are really looking forward to being a part of this special event in the city.\u201d Commented Geoff Spickler, VP Geoff Spickler, VP of Community Relations Placentia FiberCity\u00ae.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity for the community to learn more about the fiber network we are deploying in the city and the service they will expect to receive\u201d added Geoff.<\/p>\n
