Guelaguetza: June 23, 2024

 

Guelaguetza is an indigenous traditional festival that has been celebrated in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, for more than one hundred years. This event represents the celebration of the culture, tradition, and languages of 8 regions of Oaxaca with traditional dancing that includes a parade with a walking band, native food, and indigenous artisanal craft, many of them with prehepatic-style textiles. We are very excited to bring this celebration back in 2024! Join us in this lively festival on June 23rd at Oxnard's Plaza Park located in the heart of Oxnard!
