National Guitar Festival in Paracho - 2014

The Paracho Guitar Festival is actually a national music festival held once a year. Dates for 2014 are August 2nd through August 10th, starting on Saturday.

Dozens of guitar shops line the main plaza and side streets of Paracho, where you can buy a guitar from the person who made it. Every August Paracho comes alive as it hosts the Mexican National Guitar Festival. The festival features classical guitar concerts, parades, mariachi and Purepecha folk performances and competitions for guitarists and guitar makers. But ultimately, it is the town that emerges as the main character in a spirited display of tradition and community pride.

23rd Annual International Morelia Guitar Festival
The 8th to the 12th of April 

The International Guitar Festival of Morelia was founded by renowned guitarist Raul Olmos in 1991 and aims to show and expand knowledge in this sublime art. To promote and disseminate the music in all possible expressions, as well as recitals and concerts in various cultural spaces and schools within the city, the municipality and within the state.

One of the most important concerns of conducting this festival is to promote and foster awakening creativity of future generations. Capture the interest and curiosity of the general public. Expand and promote existing talent. Concentrating on different experiences, cultures and ideas to expand the expectations of our town, state and country. So the main objective of this festival is to create an open forum for young artists of Michoacan, contributing to their development.
