The festival dates back to 1985 when one local resident, Carlos Mario Montoya, came up with the idea of having the city to take a break and celebrate the importance of community, leisure time and recreational activities. /VCG Photo

Festivities including a competition for the best-looking pajamas, a pillow-juggling contest and a race for the fastest bed on wheels took place on main streets of the city. /VCG Photo
