Festival de Artes at Hotel Palmas de Cortez
Festival de Artes 2021 will be taking a 'Covid leap year' and we will not see you until March 20, 2022
It is with a heavy heart that we have had to cancel the 2021 event. We are putting the safety of our artists, vendors, volunteers and guest before anything. We also have always followed the government rules, and right now, large events like the festival are not being allowed. But, never fear, that means all our 2021 energy is already going to planning our 2022 event which will be bigger and better than ever!!! We look forward to seeing everyone back in a year and ready to continue the tradition that started 28 years ago!!!
Festival de Artes offers traditional entertainment, great food vendors, fantastic artists, an expanded beer garden with plenty of bartenders and so much more was enjoyed by all. Folks did browse through the rows of around 80 Artists with original art mediums such as oil, acrylic, water color, fabric, pottery, wood and glass. Enjoy the creations of other artists with fabric, flowers, silver, gold and precious stones in designs like no other. We have gone back to our roots with more original art, different mediums and more quality. We strive to ensure that our artists design and create their original works so that you know you are getting an original hand crafted piece directly from artist to you! You will also have the opportunity to see traditional Mexican art and a variety of 'adventurer and experience' vendors to fill your time here with some exciting opportunities for new things to do and see! We will also be having our raffle and silent auction and our team is going above and beyond to ensure that we have the greatest possible items available! Get some great things, and help us raise funds to continue our mission!
The smells coming from the Food Court will tantalize you with the delicious food with a new emphasis on up scaling and increasing the variety of our food court. We have several great restaurants from the area providing us with the best possible food. San Antonio Pizza, Palmas de Cortez, La Casita, Carmens Cafe, CanDoo Restaurant, Seth Panaderia, Big Sur Coffee, Sausage Ladies to name a few. The ice will be crackling with all your favorite cold beverages from our bar that is second to none! And yes, we will have plenty of bartenders!!!
While you are taking a break with your food and cold drink, you will be entertained with traditional folkloric Mexican dancing from the Elementary, Secondary and High Schools from Los Barriles, El Cardonal and San Bartolo.
