Unusual Colors in the Streets of Lima: Peruvian Clown Day
Each year on May 25th, Peru celebrates the Peruvian Clown Day in honor of José Alvarez Vélez, better known as Tony Perejil, a popular clown who died on that day in 1987. To this day, many citizens of Lima remember the humble, benevolent, and entertaining clown who made people laugh even in the worst situations. With nostalgia and, perhaps as well, with a little regret.
