The following information was sent to me yesterday (thanks Alvaro and Nancy). It’s a bit unusual since for all of the 14 years I have lived in Todos Santos, the “Grito” has been a one evening, one day affair – a fiesta the night of September 15 and a parade on September 16. The coronation of the queen has always been in October and included the participation of the governor of the state. She is after all, the queen of the Fiestas Tradicionales (Fesitval del Pilar) in October.
I suppose we will see what happens, although I won’t be able to attend Tuesday night’s activities.

Apparently a traditional celebration with a greased pole and maybe flying around on ropes?
Probably not to be missed!
