Merida: A magical place to celebrate Christmas

Visit Santa Lucia Park
Stroll through picturesque Santa Lucia Park, transforming into a Christmas wonderland during the holidays. The park provides a perfect setting for a relaxing evening filled with holiday spirit.
Experience the ramadas tradition
One of Merida’s most cherished traditions is the ramadas. Children and young people form groups, carrying decorated boxes adorned with branches, lights, and images of the Virgin of Guadalupe or nativity scenes. They go from house to house singing a traditional song. Often, they’ll receive coins as tokens of gratitude, responding with songs of thanks—or, if not, with humorous songs of disappointment. This unique activity wraps up by December 15, before the posadas.
Celebrate the traditional posadas
Join the posadas procession, a symbolic reenactment of Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter. Take part in this joyous event by singing Christmas carols and fostering a sense of community in the streets of Merida.
