Inside Mexico’s Exploding Hammer Festival

It’s exactly what it sounds like.


Down in the Mexican town of San Juan de la Vega, they have an annual tradition in which people strap explosives to hammers, then slam them into the ground. Yes, it really is as basic as it sounds.


Allegedly, this festival began as a tribute to the town’s namesake and his history of fighting against wealthy landowners. But now, it really just seems like a way to watch some things go kaboom.


In case you’re wondering if this is dangerous, it absolutely is, with 43 people getting injured in 2020 alone.


Still, looks like a good time!
