Your home
at the heart
of Mérida
Mérida is Mexico's Cultural Capital, and its calendar proves it. Every Monday night, the Vaquería fills the Plaza Grande with folkloric jarana dancing, and Saturdays bring Noche Mexicana to Paseo de Montejo — both free and perfect for a first visit. Are you planning a holiday in Mérida? The weekly cultural programming is a great way to plug into local life fast.

Hanal Pixan — Yucatán's day of the dead.
31 Oct - 2 Nov
Travel planning
Time your trip around the big moments: Mérida Fest in January, Carnaval in February, Noche Blanca in spring (when the historic center becomes an all-night open-air museum of art and music), and Hanal Pixán in late October, the Yucatán's own Day of the Dead, with candlelit processions and altars you can experience up close. The weekly cultural programming is a great way to plug into local life fast.
