Oaxaca's Guelaguetza Festival

The Guelaguetza is a colorful celebration of traditional culture that takes place every year in Oaxaca at the end of July. Brilliantly attired in traditional garb, representatives of each of the state's regions perform folk dances and share their local products. This year's Guelaguetza will be held from July 20th to the 27th. Besides the main performances, there are many other events taking place throughout the week.
