This Saturday, the 69th annual Baile de Cascarones will take place, with music by Los Musicos Coloniales.
It is not known for certain where cascarones originated, but many people believe they were first brought from Asia to Italy by the explorer Marco Polo.
That's because these eggshells will become cascarones (cas-cah-RONE-aze).
