November and December in Events 2023

Día de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is one of the most treasured cultural events. This Mexican celebration is to honor those who have passed on and remember the ones we love. While death may be morbid to some, Mexico celebrates the lives that were lived through food, decorations, and tradition - On November 1st and 2nd, Los Cabos will be filled with color, music, dancing, flowers, and cultural expressions to celebrate life after death. 

Christmas in paradise is a win-win, but of all the fun holidays in Los Cabos New Year’s Eve is probably the best. It is truly magical to celebrate the end of one year and ring in the next. The New Year’s Eve fireworks display over Médano Beach is renowned in the region as one of the most spectacular views of the year.
