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.
