Exploding Hammer Festival
This is the Exploding Hammer Festival, held every February in the town of San Juan de la Vega, Mexico. The festival lasts for a week and dates back to 1717, honoring the town’s guardian, who is considered Mexico’s Robin Hood. During the festival, locals create homemade explosives and attach them to the end of a hammer. They then swing the hammer high into the air and smash it down onto a beam on the ground, igniting the explosives.
