Today marks the beginning of the Viva Tequila Festival in Guadalajara, which will run from today until March 22nd and is expected to become an annual event. The festival was formed with full support from the Mexican government as well as from the ministries of Culture and Tourism, so it should definitely be quite the party.
The goal of the festival is increase tourism to the historic city of Guadalajara as well as to solidify tequila as the national drink of Mexico and, in turn, boost the sales of tequila worldwide.
The list of activities for the ten-day fest is enormous and includes tequila tasting, art shows, a photography contest, several free concerts and shows, and a celebrity parade. I haven’t yet been able to find a full list of activities in English, but you can find a full list of events in Spanish at Vivir Guadalajara.
March 17-20th of this year marks the 7th annual International Guitar Festival in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Each year, musicians, artists, and music lovers from around the world flock to Zihuatanejo, one of Mexico’s most unspoiled and tranquil bays, for the festival.
Zihuatanejo provides the perfect backdrop for four days of music, sun, and relaxation. If you get restless, there’s plenty going on in Zihuatanejo besides the festival, including golf, tennis, hiking, fishing, and shopping. If you’re a surfer, there are always waves in this region of Mexico, and Zihautanejo’s nightlife (especially during the Guitar Fest) won’t let you down.
Proceeds from the festival go to La Casa de la Cultura, which is a cultural education center that has been offering free art and cultural classes to adults and children in Zihuatanejo for 15 years. For the full schedule of events and participating artists, visit Zihuafest.
