San Blas International Festival of Migratory Birds

Ballet Foklórico de Mexcaltitan performing at the San Blas bird festival.

This Sunday, January 23, is the start of the seventh annual San Blas International Festival of Migratory Birds. The festival combines some excellent cultural events in the plaza in San Blas with field trips and community activities. It lasts until January 30, meaning that there's a full week of nightly entertainment in the plaza - perhaps the most fun-filled week of the year in San Blas, especially as it's immediately followed by the biggest fiesta days here, culminating with the day of San Blas on February 3rd. If you want to have some excitement for your visit to San Blas, this is the time to come.
