Mexicans have celebrated the annual Day of the Donkey in the 16th-century rural town of Otumba.
Thousands turned out for the festival which was a twist on traditional Labor Day events. Races and polo matches were featured as spectators fawned over donkeys dressed from head to hoof.
The costumes included historical references such as ancient Mexican pyramids, and more modern references, such as a donkey dressed as US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Sixty years ago, Otumba residents relied heavily on these work animals and decided they deserved their own day of honor.
