As was in the month of July, we have another month of no holiday celebrations in August But that is not a bad thing, as we are all gearing up for September celebrations- the most fun of the year (outside of Christmas fun, that is!)!!
However, August does have a lot of yearly events celebrating Mexican culture in other states. If you here and up for a road trip or are driving here in August, these would definitely be fun stops:
- World-class guitarists at the Feria Internacional de la Guitarra in Paracho, Michoacan August 01 – 06, 2021
- Firefly Watching in Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala August 1 – 15, 2021
- Be a part of one of Mexico’s most famous annual fairs- Feria Nacional Potosina (FENAPO) in San Luis Potosi August 06 -29, 2021
- Wine tasting and grape stomping at the wine festival of Queretaro August 07, 2021
- Get your mariachi on at the Encuentro Internacional del Mariachi y la Charrería in Guadalajara August 27 – September 05, 2021
- Sample some amazing chiles en nogada dishes at the Festival del Chile en Nogada in Puebla (all of August!).
We know, we know… All of that is wonderful, but this is supposed to be about celebrations in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo and environs, you are thinking. And we do have one thing to celebrate… The end of summer vacation and return to classes! We know that going back to school after summer fun with friends isn’t normally something students get excited about- but things have certainly not been anything NEAR normal since Covid hit the world. While most all kids North of the Border returned to in-person classes last year, all public school classes in Mexico remained online. Kids are jumping at the bit to get back to normal, and we pray for that to happen as well!
