Helloooo steemits !, I hope you are having a great time, I tell you, often the culture dissipates like the roots of a tree, there are traditions in some cities that do not have to do with other cities if they are from the same country, today I want to share a tradition that is extremely fun, it happens in my city: San Cristóbal, in the Táchira-Venezuela state.

It is a festival that marks the end of a university semester, started by the National Experimental University of Táchira, and that today has spread to many other universities in the city, it is a celebration, in the students who are in their last semester celebrate the end of a stage, the end of their university career, and how is it celebrated? It's basically like a beer festival, we call it "beer" and many think that traditionally only we drink our beers, but no, the beer is a party where you end up bathed in beer, that's right, you do not want to wear your best hair, right?

This tradition has been celebrated by family members who have already gone through this stage, and of course I celebrated it last year, after spending the last semester of my university career, the truth is an experience very funny and unique, and I would like it to be repeated. Traditionally graduates are the ones who bathe the most with beer as a symbol of celebration and their long-awaited end of the cycle as a student. It rains beer everywhere, there are laughs, hugs and lots of music.

Almost always live musicians, national and regional bands, all dance and seem to have fun, it's a great party, family and friends meet in special areas divided by races depending on the graduation that you I have invited. Usually commemorative shirts are used daily, with the name of the graduate, career and any reason you want to add, it is completely a beer festival offered exclusively for the enjoyment of family and friends of people who are finishing their university stage.

Surely they are curious to know what kind of beer is taken at the event, it is usually Pilsner beer, very cold, traditionally the company POLAR, one of the largest companies in Venezuela is the sponsor number 1 of these parties, although there have always been competitions with other companies as is the case of REGIONAL, another company specialized in this liquor, normally the event is done under the terms of the highest bidder, that is, the company that offers the best benefits.

You will think that it is a waste of beer, because literally it is bounced, and if it is, well before the waste was greater, nowadays, times have changed, and the situation of the country It is not the same, it has diminished a bit the excessive waste of this liquor, and it is celebrated but not so much beer is spilled on graduates and friends as before, it was quite fun I must say, and live, have the experience of being the one Celebrate is the best, this is a tradition that only occurs in my city, it is unique, fun and a bit controversial, but in the end that is what makes us unique and different, traditions.
