Todos Santos isn't your typical tourist town with festivals every few weeks. When they do throw a fiesta or event, they do it right, though.


October 12 is the date of the festival of Nuestra Seņora del Pilar, the patron saint of Todos Santos. This date is celebrated as the founding of the town of Todos Santos. There are usually activities, including a fair and live music in the plaza, most of the week of the 12th. There is dancing to live music in the evenings on the zocalo. And lots of food and drink.


The Festival del Arte Todos Santos is usually held in February ( January 30 to February 6, 2010), opening with arts,crafts and dance in the main plaza. This festival usually includes music and dance and crafts of a very local nature, but not much "art". Local art galleries sometimes plan their new exhibits to coincide with the Art Festival.


The 16th annual Historic Home Tour takes place on Sunday, February 27, 2010. Houses are chosen for their historic value as well as their lore and the interesting families that inhabit them.
