Alamos - Festivities |
| Alamos is traditionally a quiet place.
But several times a year one can join the locals
and scores of retired Americans permanently living
in Alamos in traditional festivities such as the
village's Patron Saint Day (December 8th), Mexico's
independence celebration (September 15th and 16th),
"Cinco de Mayo" (the May 5th celebration
of Mexico's military victory over the French Invasion),
and many others, always accompanied by fireworks,
typical Mexican and regional food, fairs, amusement
parks, etc. Alamos is full of fiestas in the month
of January, celebrating the festival "Dr. Alfonso
Ortíz Tirado", where many national and
foreign actors are presented.
