Winter is a busy time of year for Caborca, with major holidays in November and
December. It is also when Caborca is at its coolest, although with temperatures
averaging 64 degrees F, daytime temperatures are rarely below 60 degrees.
You wouldn't know it from how the locals dress though. Because we become
accustomed to the intense heat during much of the year, it's time to break out the
sweaters when temperatures dip below 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Following are some events celebrated in Caborca every Winter:
November 1st - All Saints' Day.
November 2nd - Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is an important Mexican
holiday to honor the departed. The holiday represents a synthesis between native
indigenous beliefs and modern Christianity. Throughout Mexico, people go to
Panteones (cemeteries) to visit and decorate the graves of their loved ones.
November 3rd-18th - The festival of San Diego del Alcala in Pitiquito.
November 20th - Mexican Revolution Day - celebrates the Mexican Revolution of
1910.
December 12th - Día de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, or the day of the Virgin
of Guadalupe is celebrated with a feast honoring Mexico's patron saint.
