Festival of Virgin Guadalupe
What day is the town celebrating the Virgin Guadalupe (2015)? I heard that there is a parade and activities at the church.

El Día de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe is celebrated each year on December 12. But the festivities begin several days before as pilgrims march with their images of Guadalupe to be blessed in particular churches. You can hear their processions arriving to the accompaniment of huge BOOMS from the huge hand-held bottlerockets they fire along the way, and sometimes they have musicians and chant songs.

Dec 12 is a wonderful day to be a tourist in Z. I do it every year and will again this year, my plane gets in on the 12th, so as always I will head to centro, watching the families dressed in their finery, have a nice dinner and then park myself at Bandidos and watch the activity at the church next door. If you want to experience a bit of Mexican culture this is a must. Lots of traffic jams so get there early.
