la entrada

How it is used in Bolivia

In Bolivia an 'entrada' is a folkloric or religious procession of dancers and bands through the streets. It belongs to the community celebrating it, not to visitors, so you ask about photos and follow what people say.

In Bolivia an 'entrada' is the grand procession of a fiesta, troupes of dancers and bands filing through the streets, often behind a saint's image. It's the word doña Rosa uses for what you've walked into.

Groups of dancers parade through the streets for a patron saint or Carnaval; in Sucre the big one is usually for the Virgen de Guadalupe.
