Puerto Music, Carnaval, the Chila Fair: there’s lots to see, do and hear in Puerto Escondido in the weeks ahead.

Puerto Music continues until March 2 with live music concerts under the stars and the palms on the beach at Playa Marinero. Shows are January 17 and 19, January 24 and 26, January 31 and February 2, February 14 and 16, and February 28 and March 2. Enjoy the music, dance on the sand and watch the surf roll in. See the calendar for details.

The annual Chila Fair begins February 1 and runs till the 23rd, with all kinds of events planned. Take in the rodeo, horseracing, fireworks (along with a castillo), a dance and plenty more in Bajos de Chila, just 10 minutes up the highway from Puerto Escondido.

And then there’s the Carnaval de la Costa, when Puerto Escondido lets loose and has a party. Well, it’s not the only party of the year, but it’s a big one. Popular Mexican guitarist Paco Lentería will give a free concert on the first night, February 8, at the Agencia Municipal. There will be parades, crowning of the carnaval king and queen and the traditional burning of ill humor. Don’t miss it — February 8-10.
