The Eclectic Revolution Festival
A festival to celebrate what it means to be Mexican is taking place on July 6 in PDC
On July 6, at Parque Fundadores, next the ferry to Cozumel, come celebrate Mexicanidad. This is a non-profit cultural festival that is geared towards celebrating Mexican culture through photography, painting, sculpture, dance, theater, and fashion.
