Schedule of Events

Further event details will be shared closer to the date to assist guests.

What To Pack & What To Wear
November is one of the finest times of year to visit Oaxaca - the rainy season has passed, leaving behind clear skies, warm sunny days, and cool, crisp evenings.
​
Daytime temperatures are comfortably warm at around 73–77°F (23–25°C), while mornings and evenings cool noticeably to 50–54°F (10–12°C). We recommend packing layers to carry you comfortably through the day and into the night.
​
A Note on Footwear
All events across Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are held across indoor and outdoor spaces, so guests will be moving between both throughout each day and evening. It is worth noting that Oaxaca's streets and many of its venues feature traditional cobblestone or stone surfaces. We kindly suggest avoiding stiletto heels and considering a more stable heel.
