That's cool! Colorado doesn't have a tradition for this day that I've ever seen. But then, there aren't a lot of Catholics here. Colorado has a big Juneteenth celebration and a big Cinco De Mayo celebration, both of which we didn't have in New Jersey when I was a kid; but in New Jersey the 4th of July was an all-day affair with a parade and an all day carnival and then fireworks at night, whereas here, most people don't even go to fireworks because it costs money, like you have to be at a sports arena to see them professionally done. We also had Mischief Night back east which nobody here has even heard of unless they're from back east too; the night before Halloween is when teenagers would go out and do pranks, like tp somebody's house (like maybe, their teacher, lol). Nothing serious, generally, just kids being kids.
No cool fire traditions in Colorado (besides us Pagans celebrating worldwide Pagan celebrations, but we don't have a large local presence), unless, of course, you count "college kids lighting couches on fire in the middle of the street when they win a football game against the other college in state because college rivalry," lol. I don't know why couches, but it's ALWAYS a friggin' couch. Probably because a lot of college kids in shared houses keep a couch on the porch so it's a convenient flammable thing to drag out into the street. XD
