FESTIVALS AND TRADITIONS

Cancun, a place of mixed cultures, takes the best of both worlds (pre-Hispanic and Hispanic) to celebrate its traditions throughout most of the year. In the region, you?ll see diverse forms of celebration: cockfights, carnivals and religious festivities held during Easter week and Christmas.

Other important dates include December 12 (the Virgin of Guadalupe Day) and April 20 (the date commemorating the founding of Cancun).
