The Festival Internacional Cervantino (FIC), held annually in October, has established itself as a meeting point for artists, intellectuals, and thousands of visitors, becoming a global benchmark in the field of performing and musical arts.
It is the most important and significant cultural event in Mexico and Latin America. Held annually for the past 53 years, the Festival Internacional Cervantino (FIC) will take place from October 10 to 26 in 2025, with the state of Veracruz as the guest state and United Kingdom as the guest country.
Throughout its more than four decades of history, the festival has hosted theater companies, dance groups, musicians, and visual arts exhibitors from around the world. This has enriched the country’s cultural offerings and strengthened the ties between Mexico and the international artistic community.
Moreover, the impact of the FIC promotes tourism in the state and projects Mexico as a premier cultural destination. Each year, thousands of national and international visitors attend the festival not only to enjoy the artistic performances but also to explore the architectural and historical beauty of Guanajuato, a UNESCO World Heritage city. Additionally, the FIC has significantly contributed to the development of new audiences and educational enrichment through its academic programs and parallel activities such as lectures, workshops, and exhibitions. These efforts have established the festival as a driver of educational development in Mexico.
Thus, the 53nd edition is an opportunity to continue fostering the arts by bringing together more than 174,000 people during the cultural activities. Iconic spaces in Guanajuato come alive with over 140 stage performances for all kinds of audiences and the participation of up to 3,000 national and international artists, along with touring performances in other cities across the country, including Mexico City
