The 24-minute show is expected to start at 10:06pm.

Transit Windsor will offer Windsor city bus at no cost on Monday night, 6 to midnight. There’s also a free shuttle bus service that will travel continuously between Devonshire Mall and a downtown drop-off.

Windsor Police are asking families to take photo of their kids at the beginning of the event, in the same clothes they’re wearing that night. Police say this will ensure you can provide officers with a recent and accurate photo if they are separated during the evening.

Ensure your child has identification (if age-appropriate) and knows a parent or guardian’s phone number. Choose a designated meeting spot ahead of time in case you become separated. If your child becomes lost, report it immediately to the nearest police officer.

In this bizarre festival grown men, dressed as El Colacho (the devil), jump over tiny babies to ward off bad luck and to cleanse the babies of the evil that infests them when they are born. The origins of this tradition are not entirely clear, but it is believed to have emerged as a way to ward off evil spirits and protect the newborns. After being jumped over, After that, the babies are blessed with holy water.

The tradition is over 400 years old.
