Welcome to the San Miguel de Allende Festival and Event Calendar! Whether you are planning a trip to San Miguel and are trying to decide what month to visit or are a full-time resident who simply wants to know what's happening and when, this calendar is for you.
When making plans, it's helpful to remember that some events, like New Year's Day, will always fall on the same date every year, while others, like Easter, change from year to year. In addition, rather than being scheduled on a specific date every year, many festivals are scheduled to occur on a particular weekend of a particular month, or are not even scheduled precisely until 3-4 months before the actual event. For this reason, you'll notice that specific dates are not provided in the list of events below, although by clicking on the event you can find out the approximate date that it's usually held.
