Acapulco - Events and
Entertainment
When's the best time to be in Acapulco?
March in Acapulco
It feels like spring break in Acapulco
year-round, but during March the city transforms into party paradise.
The Golden Zone, along the Costera, is alive with students (and just
about everyone else) enjoying their break in Acapulco.
Along with Easter and the week after Christmas, spring is the high
season for vacations in Acapulco.
May in Acapulco
The Acapulco Music Festival
('Acapulco Fest' or 'Acafest' for short) is held annually in May at the Convention Center in Acapulco.
It is a huge event lasting a week and featuring dozens of famous Latin
artists. Two separate events/stages run concurrently - each with its own admission.
Monthly concerts on the first or second Friday of the month (visit or
call the Convention Center for dates).
The shows start at 9pm but get to the Convention Center at least half
an hour before; for free tickets and maybe even a chat with the conductor of the
orchestra.
You can attend bullfights in Acapulco on Sundays from November through
March.
The Mexican Open is a clay court, tennis tournament held annually at
the Fairmont
Princess Hotel in Acapulco.
Although players from all over the world compete in the tournament,
many of them come from Central and South America and Spain.
In addition to the tennis matches, there is an assortment of booths
for snacks, drinks, meals, and merchandise. The stadiums are in the sun, so bring your
sunscreen or find a seat higher up in the shade.
December in Acapulco
The Acapulco Fair is held at the
Convention Center, every year, during the Christmas holidays.
The fair, which runs from a week before Christmas to the week after
New Year, has many rides for children and adults.
There are also the usual carnival games and prizes and over a thousand
vendors.
