Feste di Ottobre 2024 a Messico

La città occidentale messicana di Guadalajara è spesso associata ai cowboy, alla musica mariachi e al tequila, ma queste associazioni toccano solo la superficie. Come capitale dello Stato di Jalisco, Guadalajara vanta una cultura ricca e versatile. Pur radicata in tradizioni consolidate da tempo, gli artisti locali continuano a spingere i confini creando arte moderna e musica indipendente. Il lato contemporaneo di questa città storica è prominentemente esposto ogni ottobre durante le Fiestas de Octubre, una celebrazione di un mese che raggiunge il culmine l'ultimo fine settimana del mese.

Fiestas de Octubre offers traditional music and dance performances, contemporary art exhibitions, and a variety of food stalls featuring local cuisine. Additionally, there are numerous workshops and interactive experiences for children and adults alike. The festival also hosts a carnival with rides and games, providing entertainment for the whole family.
