Festival de Artes at Hotel Palmas de Cortez
The festival is in the history books and our memory banks! And what a perfect experience it was.
The 26th Annual Festival De Artes is in the history books and had a perfect combination of weather, guests, food, drink, great art and fantastic non-stop entertainment. Watch the web site for some great photos - both via drone and our photographers. The festival has started the beginning of its second 25 years being known as the premier Art Festival in the BCS. 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 are going 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! Exciting additions will be coming for the 2019 festival- watch for them on this site!
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. The ice will be crackling with all your favorite cold beverages from our bar that is second to none!
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. We will also be honored to have Contest winners from La Paz who will be coming to entertain us with traditional Mexican dancing. The entertainment will be every quarter hour starting at 10:30.
