Among Cozumel’s most
important festivities is its annual Carnival in February, a
tradition that began last century. Nearly all the residents
participate in the event, which adds to the festive atmosphere in
the streets and public squares. The Fiesta de la Catedral, also
called the Fiesta de la Santa Cruz, is another important festivity
that takes place during the first week of March in the town of El
Cedral. During the event, there is an agricultural fair that brings
together many people from the Yucatan Peninsula region, and you can
also see popular regional dances such as La Cabeza del Cochino and
Las Cintas. Other important celebrations held in Cozumel are the
Fiesta de San Pedro y San Pablo, which takes place in June and
offers various dance performances, and the Fiesta de San Miguel,
which pays homage to the town’s patron saint during the month of
September.
