Each year, thousands of revelers gather for the Festival de San José del Cabo held in the city of the same name in Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.

This annual event celebrates the city's patron saint, San José (also known as Saint Joseph), and consists of a multi-day festival with music, parades, food, drink, dancing, and parties.

Street vendors, offering traditional foods, drinks, crafts, and other locally-made goods will be lining roads throughout the city, along with musicians and performers scattered across the boulevards. Other musicians and dancers will perform in San José del Cabo's open air theater, and throughout the week, a few nationally-recognized artists will be taking the stage too. 


The festival brings a decidedly jovial atmosphere to an area already renowned as one of the top resort destinations on the planet.

The Festival de San José del Cabo is unique in the welcoming atmosphere it offers to both tourists and locals. Every March, Mexicans and tourists alike make the journey to the southern tip of the peninsula for the annual celebration.

With weather is known to be favorable, boasting mild temperatures, little rain, and lots of sunshine, it's the perfect recipe for a tropical beachside vacation.
