Campeche is known for its unique way of celebrating and preserving traditional and religious festivities. You’ll come across everything from interesting cultural events to rides and expos, such as the San Roman and San Francisco expositions. But without a doubt, one of the most awaited celebrations of the year is the Carnival, which takes place in February. With more than 450 years of tradition, it is the oldest carnival in the nation. The party begins with the burning of a pirate effigy and continues with performances by costumed dancers, live music and parades, such as El Paseo de las Flores, El Corso Infantil and the traditional Bando. Other notable events are the so-called Campechanidad in August and the city’s Historic Festival in December..
