Todos Santos Art Festival
Bohemian art celebration in Baja's magical pueblo mágico
Overview
The Todos Santos Art Festival celebrates the creative spirit of this designated 'Pueblo Mágico' – a bohemian oasis that has attracted artists, writers, and free spirits for decades.
This charming Pacific-side town, just an hour north of Cabo, transforms during the festival as galleries open their doors, artists set up in the streets, and the entire community comes alive with creative energy.
The festival offers a refreshing contrast to the resort atmosphere of Los Cabos – think organic cafes, historic adobe buildings, world-class galleries, and a genuine artistic community.
