Special fiestas

Mexico loves a party! There's an excuse to celebrate every sunny day, but there are a few days that are extra special.

On the following dates, the entire town of Melaque throws a fiesta:
March 16 St. Patrick is the local patron saint, so Paddy's Day is celebrated in high style. This fiesta usually stretches on for over a week.
Easter Week Semana Santa is celebrated from the Monday before Easter until Easter Sunday. Pascual is celebrated for the following week.
May 1-5 This is a week long celebration covering Labor Day on May 1, to the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla on May 5.
Nov. 1 The Day of the Dead is one of Mexico's most famous fiestas. With parades, costumes, and general revelry, people honor the day the dead come back to visit their families.
Dec. 5-12 Virgin of Guadalupe, a celebration of Mexico's patron. Children dress up in indigenous costumes and parade the streets.
Christmas Christmas is celebrated from a week before Christmas day to New Year's day.

Note: Most stores are open on these days. Some banks and government offices may be closed, but ATM services are available.
