Springtime Events
6th of April (Seis de Abril) Parade
Springtime in Caborca's desert environment is arguably among the most
comfortable weather climates in the world.  With average temperatures in the
70's, the dry and mild climate is perfect for exploring, seeing local events, or
just taking a walk.

Following are some events celebrated in Caborca every Spring:

National Health Week Kindergarten Students' Parade

Held annually in February, this parade features all of Caborca's kindergarten
students dressed up as a medical professional or some other health-related
item, such as a fruit or vegetable.  In addition to recognizing Mexico's
National Health Week, the parade is also to help the students prepare for
upcoming vaccinations.  It is a very, very cute way to observe the very
important topic of children's health.

Springtime Parade - Birth Date of Benito Juárez

Typically held on March 21st (which also recognizes the birthday of Mexican
President Benito Juárez), the kindergarteners once again take to the streets,
this time dressed in a springtime theme.  

April 6th (Seis de Abril)

This is the biggest event on Caborca's annual calendar, to commemorate the
town's defense against American filibusterers in the mid-1800's.

May 1st - Primero de Mayo is a national workers' holiday, similar to Labor
Day in the U.S.

May 5th - A minor holiday in Mexico (it's probably more recognized in the
U.S.),
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory of Mexican forces against
the French in the battle of Puebla.

May 10th - Mother's Day (Día de la Madre), a major Mexican holiday.

May 15th - Teachers' Day (Día del Maestro), honoring Mexico's educators.
