In 1998, the people of Yoro, Honduras, began holding an annual Festival de Lluvia de Peces (Festival of Fish Rain) to celebrate the phenomenon of fish falling from the sky, which has occurred in the region for over a century. The festival, held during the first major rainfall in May or June, includes a parade and carnival, turning a natural anomaly into a cultural celebration.

The Yoro fish rain festival has been celebrated in Honduran poetry and literature as a symbol of the region's unique identity and its connection to the natural world. The event has inspired poems and stories that blend indigenous tradition with modern spectacle, reflecting the resilience and creativity of the local community.
