Most
of the
festivities that
take place in Guanajuato are
usually of
religious or
historical
significance. Among
the important
dates is Semana Santa (Holy
Week, or
Easter),
particularly that
of Good
Friday when
the Virgin
of Dolores (patron
saint of
the miners)
is celebrated.
El Dia de la Cueva,
which falls
on July 31,
is a popular fiesta
to honor San Ignacio de Loyola. On
Nov. 2 prepare yourself
for Day
of the
Dead. On
Sept. 28 a military
and civilian
parade takes
place to
commemorate the
taking of
the Alhondiga
de Granaditas (the
grain depository).
Another recent
tradition is
the classic
callejonada,
when musicians
take to
the streets
and belt out
festive serenades..
