Keeping evil spirits away with kites

"Imagination is the highest kite one can fly." 11/28/17 In Guatemala, Connecting With Spirits Through Giant Homemade Kites Every year, the people of Sumpango, Guatemala, celebrate the Day of the Dead with giant, colorful handmade kites. These giant kites are masterpieces that require six months of hard work to construct. This ancient tradition, which dates back nearly 300 years, is also a unique way for residents to connect with the past.   This Great Big Story was made in partnership with Toyota Camry.
