The chíviri is a popular festival which takes place in the Spanish town of Trujillo. It started in the beginning of the 19th century as the culmination of Easter, on Resurrection Sunday. The main square became a meeting point for people dressed in typical regional costume who sing, dance, eat and drink to the beat of popular songs. The following Monday is a holiday in the city (Easter Monday). On this day it is traditional for celebrants to find a place in the countryside to partake in a picnic.
