Traditional Weddings in Oaxaca

The next day a civil, religious or shamanic celebration, including the traditional “calenda”; and on the third day a lunch.

Las Calendas is a procession from the church to the dinner party, accompanied by guests dancing in the streets to a live band while sipping on mezcal as bystanders cheered-on the newlyweds, giant paper puppets of the bride and groom, donkeys, and local dancers; the calenda can really set the tone for an unforgettable experience, there’s really nothing like it in any other place in the world.
