Culture & Traditions

Mexico’s cultures are local first: community festivals, craft traditions, music scenes, and kitchens that tell history in every dish. This page collects our culture stories with an emphasis on the people who keep traditions alive and the changes they face. Expect profiles, event coverage, and explainers that connect past and present without cliché. We highlight regional differences and the everyday work behind a “cultural moment,” from rehearsals to markets to community halls.
