MEXICO HOLIDAYS
Premium Mexico Links
Just like people from most other parts of the world Mexicans love their holidays. Many of these holidays were established for religious reasons, some for political recognition, and others were established for not much more than a good excuse to party. Although it is interesting to note these holidays and their relationships to the Mexican culture, it is also important to understand that some of these holidays can be favorite vacation times for the local people and other travelers. Hotels can be jammed during some of these holidays and finding empty seats on airlines who service Mexico can also be difficult. If you don't like crowds you might want to avoid scheduling your Mexico getaway around the busier holidays. Mexico's busiest holidays include Holy Week (the week before and up to Easter Sunday) and Christmas Week (the week between Christmas and up to New Year's Day). Since these are also U.S. holidays most resorts in Mexico are very crowded during these holidays. It is also a good idea to be aware of the many U.S. holidays when planning a trip to Mexico. Many gringos travel to Mexico on the 3 and 4 day holiday weekends, as well as the extended holiday periods. Popular U.S. holidays include President's Day Weekend (late February ~ 3 to 4 days), Spring Break (late February - Early March ~ two weeks), Memorial Day Weekend (late May ~ 3 to 4 days), Independence Day Weekend (early July ~ 3 to 4 days), Labor Day Weekend (early September ~ 3 to 4 days), Veteran's Day Weekend (early November ~ 3 to 4 days), Thanksgiving Day Weekend (late November ~ 4 - 5 days), Christmas Break (late December ~ two weeks).
