Fiestas de Madrid
About this festival
Fiestas de Madrid is celebrated from October 2 to 9 in Madrid, in the municipality of Tecomán, Colima. The date we show is approximate.
Town festivals repeat every year, but the dates can move by a few days. Before you go, confirm with the town hall, the parish or the organizers.
What to expect
Colima's town festivals usually combine Mass and processions, music and dancing, food stalls and street snacks, fairground rides and, depending on each town's tradition, horseback parades or rodeos. They are a good chance to learn about local customs and try local food.
Tips for going
- Bring cash in small bills and coins: almost nobody at the stalls takes cards.
- Arrive early and look for parking: on the main days of the festival, downtown streets are closed or packed.
- Wear comfortable clothes and shoes and protect yourself from the sun; it can cool down at night.
- Respect the religious celebrations and look after your belongings in the crowd.
