San Miguel de Allende Light Show

Every Friday and Saturday at 9PM, San Miguel de Allende's iconic church, La Parroquia, lights up for 15 minutes in an impressive display of lights and images designed by the French artist Xavier de Richemont to celebrate Mexico's 2010 Bicentennial.

This is something that is best appreciated in person, but to give you an idea of what to expect, watch the video below.

We like to get there early enough to purchase a hamburger and a soft drink at the burger stand directly in front of the Parroquia for 35 pesos (about $2.70US at the time of this posting.) Where else can you get dinner and a show for under three bucks?
