24 days of Mérida Fest: Complete guide

Here is your day-by-day, hour by hour Mérida Fest 2015 planner

Mérida, Yucatán — An inaugural concert by Armando Manzanero and Francisco Céspedes will kick off Mérida Fest’s 165 free artistic, academic and entertainment events, says the director of Culture Department, Irving Berlin Villafaña.

Manzanero, “El Señor Amor,” is widely considered the premier Mexican romantic composer of the postwar era and one of the most successful composers of Latin America. Céspedes is a Cuban-born singer known for his 1998 song, Vida Loca. They are among 600 entertainers and speakers the festival will present over 24 days.

The celebration of the 473 anniversary of the founding of Merida begins Jan. 5, 2015. Mérida was founded by Francisco de Montejo y León — on Jan. 6, 1542 to be precise — on the Mayan ruins of T’hó, and the city has spent around $14 million pesos to mark the occasion.

The Olimpo Cultural Center’s exhibition of artwork by Rodin, Renoir and Dalí is among the high-brow fare. Through a partnership with Carlos Slim’s Soumaya Museum in Mexico City, the Olimpo will also display works by Juan Soriano and Émile-Antoine Bourdelle and paintings by Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran, known best for his 1923 book The Prophet. 

For every intellectual roundtable discussion and academic lecture, there are theatrical performances both dramatic and farcical, puppet shows and even an opera for children, and live music for all tastes. The festival will take in a poignant moment when a bust of Silvio Zavala is unveiled following numerous tributes to the Mérida-born historian and cultural advocate who died in early December 2014 at the age of 105.

A “Night of Culture” series on the Plaza Grande will present various shows in honor of the contributions of Spanish, Chinese, Arabic and Korean populations to the city’s growth.

This year’s festival, southeastern Mexico’s largest cultural event, runs Jan. 5-28, 2015. Here is the current schedule, which is subject to change. All events are free and open to the public.
