Fiestas de Outubro 2024 em México

A cidade mexicana ocidental de Guadalajara é frequentemente associada a cowboys, música mariachi e tequila, mas essas associações apenas arranham a superfície. Como capital do estado de Jalisco, Guadalajara ostenta uma cultura rica e versátil. Embora profundamente enraizada em tradições estabelecidas há muito tempo, artistas locais continuamente ultrapassam limites criando arte moderna e música independente. O lado contemporâneo desta cidade histórica é exibido de forma proeminente todos os anos em outubro durante as Fiestas de Octubre, uma celebração de um mês que atinge o ápice no último fim de semana do mês.

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.
