Festivities

Celebration

The islanders gathered atop The Wall, discovering the venue was adorned with decorations that perfectly captured the festive mood—American flags, firework stands, and eagles wandering about, embodying the American spirit. Shortly after, Cucurucho made a grand entrance with a bald eagle perched on his arm, an iconic patriotic symbol. The group then gathered around the grill, cooked together, and shared cold beers. The celebration ended off with a spectacular fireworks display, and the residents gazed in awe at the vibrant colors lighting up the night sky.
