Many locals and visitors embrace this spirit with celebrations centered on family, tradition and community, and finding the right accommodations in GDL will allow you to enjoy as many activities as possible, such as:
Traditional posadas
From December 16 to 24, Guadalajara hosts public posadas to recreate Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem. These lively events include processions, music, piñatas, and delicious traditional food. Local neighborhoods, especially in areas like Tlaquepaque and Tonala, are great places to experience this tradition.
Festival of lights at the Historic Center
The Historic Center comes alive with holiday lights, an enormous Christmas tree, and beautifully decorated plazas. Enjoy live music and art performances while browsing the market stalls for crafts and festive treats. The Plaza de Armas and its surroundings are a must-visit during the holiday season.
