What is the Fiesta De Santa Cecilia?
In November, a very special gathering takes place in Mexico City to pay homage to St. Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians.
Mariachis, along with regional musicians from northern Mexico and the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, descend on Plaza Garibaldi for an open-air party with fantastic tribute concerts.
This Fiesta is celebrated all over North and South America and in Spain but to experience it in Mexico City is an event like no other. An experience not to be missed!
