In very typical Todos Santos fashion, the publicity for the Mango Festival has only now begun, 2 weeks before the event. Perhaps in the future dates for events such as this will be available more than 2 weeks in advance. The festival is small and takes place in a tiny park near the fire station in El Otro Lado, just up the hill from Casa Dracula and La Esquina. Parking is very limited. Dates are July 28 – August 1. There will be a fishing tournament and the normal festival activities, including coronation of the Queen, carnival rides, music/dances and food vendors. If memory serves me, it rained before the festival last year, turning the dirt road into muck.
The official website for the festival still only has info for 2009. Go figure.
