Mexico Festivities & Holidays
FIESTAS Y DIAS FESTIVOS
In Mexico people love to celebrate and if you are in Mexico during certain holidays you shouldn't miss the festivities of the local people. These festivities are often in honor of the Saint of their village, the annual crop or the beginning of the rainy season. There are also many national holidays that make the whole country celebrate. We recommend you to spend these days in less touristic regions in order to get authentic impressions.
The most important holidays in Mexico are "Semana Santa" (week before Easter), "Día de la independencia" (Independence Day) and "Día de los muertos" (Day of the Death) as well as the Christmas Holidays.
