Description

Experience one of Mexico’s most vibrant and meaningful celebrations with this virtual session dedicated to the Guelaguetza — Oaxaca’s legendary festival of community, dance, and ancestral tradition. Held every July on the Cerro del Fortín in Oaxaca City, the Guelaguetza brings together indigenous communities from across the state, each presenting their unique dances, music, clothing, and customs in a colorful expression of identity and solidarity. The word Guelaguetza comes from the Zapotec language and means “reciprocal offering,” reflecting the deep spirit of sharing and community that defines this celebration.

The origins and meaning of the Guelaguetza in pre-Hispanic and colonial times
Traditional dances from the eight regions of Oaxaca
Indigenous languages and ceremonial elements still present today
Festive clothing and symbolism: embroidery, rebozos, and regional hairstyles
The importance of maize, mezcal, and local products in the event
