  • New Year’s is peak season in most destinations, with black out dates extending through Jan 3rd in most cities, and through Jan 10th in beach resort destinations.
  • The winter season brings cooler temperatures across Mexico, with chillier evenings in Mexico City, Puebla, and even Oaxaca. The Yucatan Peninsula including the Mexican Caribbean remain temperate, with lowest temperatures around 22°C.
  • While there are two national holidays (Constitution Day on the 3rd and Flag day on the 24th), hotels don’t consider these black out dates, so take advantage of the cooler season. 
  • March 17th commemorates the birth of Benito Juarez, which may increase rates at some beach destination hotels, and increase domestic travel.
  • The spring equinox on March 21st brings many more guests than usual to key archaeological sites, like Teotihuacan in Mexico City, Chichen Itza in Yucatan, and Tulum in the Mexican Caribbean.
  • Celebrations of Holy Week and Easter from April 13th through April 20th bring increased demand across the country, together with a rise in accommodation rates. 
  • Coinciding in start dates, the state of Aguascalientes hosts the Ferida de San Marcos, a three week carnival considered to be the best and biggest in Mexico, though barely visited by international guests.
  • Mexico celebrates Labor Day on May 1st, and while there is no closure of restaurants or other tourism related spots, and while there are no black out dates at hotels, most major cities have celebrating parades which may disrupt traffic in the morning.
  • May 5th commemorates the Battle of Puebla, when the Mexican army defeated the French. While a memorable date for all Mexicans, celebrations rarely extend beyond a military parade in larger cities that may disrupt traffic during the morning.
  • Other than these, the month of May is a shoulder season with lower rates and smaller guest volumes – perfect to enjoy Mexico if you don’t mind temperatures beginning to rise again (plan around the heat with most of activities happening earlier in the day, or in the evening).
  • There are no major celebrations to be aware of during June; together with May, they constitute a shoulder season between Holy Week/Easter and the peak of the summer. Plan around the raising temperatures of the summer by having most of the activities earlier in the morning and later in the afternoon.
  • The peak of the summer brings the wonderful Guelaguetza event to Oaxaca, a folk happening where people from all towns around Oaxaca gather in the capital city for parades, dances, and celebration. Expect limited availability and higher hotel rates in all hotels in Oaxaca City days before and after the two Guelaguetza dates (July 21st and 28th).
  • July is the peak of domestic travel in Mexico, so there may be some reduced availability, especially in resorts at beach destinations.
  • There are no major celebrations to be aware of during August; together with September, they constitute a low season period between summer and the beginning of the winter season. 
  • The exceptions are the states of Queretaro and Tlaxcala, with both having occasions beginning in mid-July and lasting through mid to late August. In the former, the wine season festivities are in full swing, while forests in the latter get thousands of fireflies illuminating through the night.
  • September 16th marks the Mexican Independence, the highest of all civic celebrations in Mexico. Hotels in Mexico City and a few other cities are particularly busy during a three to four window, mainly from domestic tourism looking to partake in celebrations – which include parades, fireworks, and a speech from the President.
  • Aside from these few days, September is mostly low season, together with August. 
  • September traditionally marks the beginning of the hurricane season in the Mexican Caribbean, with dangerous-level storms happening every few years. We make sure to plan accordingly, and reroute further inland if needed.
  • While there are no major celebrations in October, it does mark the arrival of Autumn and cooler temperatures, and the beginning of the “winter season”. 
  • October also sees the country beginning preparations for Day of the Dead, celebrated on November 1 and 2. Ahead of the celebrations, many cities begin visits to cemeteries and parades, making a wonderful time to visit Mexico, as cities around the country get themed decorations in all streets, public buildings, and markets.
  • Mexico City hosts several parades in October, happening every weekend, and which may disrupt traffic. Some of the parades include a Catrina parade, Alebrije parade, Zombie parade, and even a Star Wars parade. 
  • Expect higher rates and limited availability in most cities in Mexico, as far back as one week before the end of the month.
  • November 1st and 2nd bring the height of the Day of the Dead celebrations, possibly the most beloved all festivities in Mexico. A wonderful time to visit, major celebrations happen in Mexico City, Michoacan, and Oaxaca, with each region hosting their unique version of the rituals, and typically including parades, building altars, and visiting cemeteries.
  • Expect higher rates and limited availability up to one week before, and one week after Day of the Dead in many cities.
  • November 17th marks the celebration of the Mexican Revolution, which may bring limited availability and higher rates at some hotels around the country during that weekend.
  • From the beginning of December, streets and main buildings in Mexico are decorated with Christmas ornaments and Poinsettias, a flower associated with Christmas time in Mexico. 
  • December 12th celebrates the day of Virgin Guadalupe, a religious celebration deeply engrained in tradition and hold very dearly across Mexico. Celebrations include several masses throughout the day everywhere in Mexico, fireworks, carnivals, and long pilgrimages to the Guadalupe Shrine in Mexico City, which may disrupt traffic.
  • On December 24th and 25th, most Mexicans partake in Christmas celebrations, and many people get two days or one and a half day off, with shops, markets and streets buzzing with people in last minute Christmas arrangements and celebrations.
  • As a general rule, hotels have black out dates from December 20th until the beginning of January, with higher than usual rates and limited availability.
