3 Best Performing Arts in Los Cabos, Mexico

Todos Santos screens several new Latin American films during a festival in March. The 1940s-era Teatro Cine General Manuel Márquez de León serves as the main venue, with some films shown at other sites in Todos Santos, Pescadero, and La Paz.

The city goes all out to celebrate Mexican dance, music, folklore, and culture for a week in early February each year. Local artists and several of the downtown galleries hold special events in conjunction with the festival.

Former R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck was the major force behind the Todos Santos Music Festival, held annually in January. The festival typically features seven nights of live music spread across two weekends, with an international lineup of performers appearing at Hotel California and the Todos Santos town square. Buck ruffled some local feathers with political comments at the 2016 festival, and the festival was renamed Tropic of Cancer Concert Series as a consequence. Proceeds benefit local children's charities.
