7 Chilean Food Festivals to Plan Your Trip Around - AFAR

"The largest Fiestas Patrias celebration in Santiago takes place in Parque O’Higgins on Sept. 18–19, featuring a community fonda (street party) with food stands, live music, traditional games, and cueca dancing. Expect iconic Chilean dishes including empanadas de pino (stuffed with beef, onion, boiled egg, olives, and raisins), choripán topped with spicy pebre, and anticuchos (grilled meat skewers); festive drinks include mote con huesillo, chicha (fermented grape or apple juice), and the deceptively sweet terremoto ("earthquake"), which mixes pipeño wine, pineapple ice cream, and grenadine and is often followed by a second called the replica or aftershock." - AFAR
