Festivals and cultural events Guatemala

Patron saint's day in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. These festivities are punctuated by cultural events and, on the 19th, a highly original dance, the Yancunú.

Musicians, writers and painters present songs, poems and paintings. The winners have been honoured in the municipal theater since 1916. The Parque Centroaméricano and the city's various public and religious buildings are the setting for colorful exhibitions and events. Numerous artistic and cultural events accompany the Floral Games.
