Winter Events in Caborca
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 have become accustomed to the intense heat during much of the year, it is time to break out the sweaters when temperatures dip below 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Following are some events celebrated in Caborca every Winter:
November 1 – All Saints’ Day. This is also the day when children who have passed away are remembered (Dia de los Angelitos).
November 2 – 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.
