Created as a platform for documentaries and fiction works, the programming offers an up-close look at Mexican society as seen through the eyes of a new generation of filmmakers. Fashionable bars and sidewalk cafes are buzzing with activity around the main square, where crowds gather nightly for open-air screenings and other cultural events.Day of the DeadEach year on November 1st and 2nd, Mexico turns its thoughts to the departed during the Day of the Dead festivities, a colorful tradition deeply rooted in native culture.

Prepare yourself to battle large crowds of the living.Carnival in Veracruz &MazatlnMexico hosts many carnival celebrations every year featuring exciting parades, dance performances, live music and of course, big-time partying.
