The vejigante is a cultural icon from Puerto Rico, where the tradition of the vejigante mask dates back to the 16th century. The masks were originally worn to scare off evil spirits during festivals, and over time, they became an integral part of Puerto Rican culture.
Today, the vejigante is celebrated during the Carnaval de Ponce, a festival that takes place in Ponce, Puerto Rico, every year. The vejigante represents the spirit of the festival, with its bright colors, bold designs, and playful nature.
