FESTIVALS AND TRADITIONS

One of Morelia?s most attractive features is its strong cultural tradition, which you can truly appreciate as you watch organizers stage the city?s most important events. Among the most important festivities is the Assumption of the Virgin, an event that offers regional dances and a local fair. We also recommend that you experience the festive celebration of Mexican Independence Day in Morelia, the birthplace of independence hero Jose Maria Morelos. What?s more, in December don?t miss the celebrations of the Immaculate Virgin and the Virgin of Guadalupe, a special time of year when pilgrims and devout followers reaffirm their religious faith.
