4 Mexican Festivals for Your Bucket List
Four fun festivals worth visiting Mexico (and dressing up) for.
Mexico is mostly known for its beaches, tequila and picturesque views. But let’s face it — you can find better beaches in many countries. When I visit Mexico, I go for the cultural attractions. But many people don’t realize that it’s a big country filled with a variety of unique and textured cultural flavors.
There are said to be between 5,000 and 6,000 celebrations every year, ranging from local events to national celebrations. This makes it easy to choose a place and time of year to visit — just go wherever there’s something to celebrate.
Tropical forests and turquoise beaches are great, but our neighbor-to-the-south sure knows how to throw a great party. Here are four festivals to attend if you want to experience a traditional Mexican celebration:

The easiest way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo is through food, with some of the best-known dishes of Mexico. Things like guacamole, salsa, and tortillas – it all makes for a tasty holiday! Just don’t forget that date.
