The image depicts a dense gathering of individuals at night within the Plaza de Armas in Arequipa, Peru. In the foreground, several young people, predominantly females, are visible, prominently wearing distinctive short, pleated skirts. These skirts feature a vibrant neon yellow-green upper section with horizontal stripes and geometric patterns, transitioning to a dark blue lower section; some skirts exhibit reflective elements. They are paired with casual tops such as hoodies and t-shirts, and sneakers. The mid-ground is occupied by a large crowd, with many individuals partially obscured. Within this crowd, several large, white, feathery or floral headpieces are discernible, indicating a cultural event, performance, or parade. The background features a multi-story white building characterized by prominent blue trim around its numerous windows and large brown wooden doors, consistent with the colonial architecture found in Arequipa's main square. The ground surface is dark and appears to be paved with cobblestones or large flagstones. The scene is illuminated by artificial light sources, casting shadows and highlighting various subjects.
