Guelaguetza (from the zapotec word “guendalizaa”) means “Shared Offering”. This word represents the maximum celebration of art and culture in Oaxaca. The Guelaguetza is celebrated this year in July 20th and 27th. Communities from within the state of Oaxaca gather in the city to present their regional culture in the form of costumes, dances, music and food in front of thousands of curious spectators. The Guelaguetza is the spirit of Oaxaca throughout the year. It is the most famous celebration of its kind in Mexico.
