Music and color: the San Pancho festival is here
Since 2001, San Pancho dusts off its party attire every February and turns the cozy little town into a vibrant scene full of energy. The San Francisco Nayarit music festival has become one of the most attended cultural events in the region, bringing together, year after year, countless national and international artists in a coastal paradise sheltered by the lush landscapes of the Sierra Madre.
This year will be no exception, and from February 23 to 25, 2024, the Plaza del Sol will be filled with music, dance, and color, with two fully equipped stages for you and your loved ones to enjoy the moment to the top, surrounded by rhythm, lights, and fun.
A Bit of History
In 2001, two San Pancho residents named John & Patricia Alexander invited some friends who were passionate about music to a small home gathering on their patio. Between laughter and pleasant tunes, that moment was definitely something to be repeated, so it became an annual meeting that gradually grew in magnitude.
Relatively quickly, only five years later, the event became the great San Pancho music festival, with more than 100 invited musicians and a presence in the town's main square – an open invitation to the general public.
The festival is a free event that seeks to turn the spotlight on local and international talent visiting the region. For the independent artists, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show their unique vision, and for the attendees, it is a wonderful moment, full of creativity where, perhaps, you could discover your new favorite band or singer.
