Fall Cultural Festival Schedule Announced for October

Next month, the people of Cozumel can enjoy a week full of art, theatre, music, and more in what is known as the Fall Cultural Week (Otoño Cultural) of Cozumel. This year marks the 15th year of the festival. It all began back in 2003 when a group of 5 women were discussing the fact that there really were no organized cultural festivals here on the island, so they decided to start one.

Investing their time and energies in fundraising activities, and asking for donations by the business community of Cozumel, they brought the festival to life. They formed a group called Circulo Cultural Arcano, a non-profit organization, and have made the Fall Cultural Week an annual event ever since. Some of the people involved in the group have changed over the years, but the concept has not; bringing art, poetry, theatre, and music to the people of Cozumel, free of charge.

This year the event will take place from October 7 – 12th, 2019.  There will be a dance spectacle, a cultural fair and much more information.  Island artist, and owner of Galeria Azul, Greg Dietrich is actually raffling off one of his handcrafted lamps.  The drawing will take place on the 7th of October.  For more information, check out their page.  

Programa Otoño Cultural para octubre

El próximo mes, la gente de Cozumel puede disfrutar una semana completa llena de arte, teatro, música y más en el Otoño Cultural de Cozumel. Este año se cumplen 15 años del festival. Todo comenzó cuando 5 mueres platicaban entre ellas que en realidad no existían festivales culturales organizados en la Isla; entonces, decidieron crear uno.

Invirtiendo su tiempo y energías en actividades para recaudar fondos y solicitando donativos a la comunidad comercial de Cozumel, lograron dar vida al festival. Formaron un grupo llamado Círculo Cultural Arcano; una sociedad civil sin fines de lucro, y desde entonces han hecho del Otoño Cultural un evento anual. A través de los años algunas personas del grupo han cambiado, pero no así el concepto: llevar el arte, la poesía, teatro y música a la gente de Cozumel de manera gratuita.

Este año el evento tendrá lugar del 7 al 12 de octubre. Habrá un espectáculo de danza, una feria cultural y mucha más información. De hecho, el artista y propietario de Galería Azul, Greg Dietrich rifará una de sus lámparas hechas a mano. El sorteo será el 7 de octubre. Para más información, echen un vistazo a su página.
