The Festival Dr. Alfonso Ortiz Tirado is on right now. It is billed as an international event and features performers from Cuba, Chile, Uruguay, Canada, USA, Cyprus, Spain, Colombia, Mexico and Norway. There are performances going on in many cities in the state of Sonora, so pretty much wherever you live you can get to see some of the entertainment. All of the information is on their site and if you are in the State of Sonora during the next week, I suggest you find a venue and go to see some of the performances. All performances are free as the festival is sponsored by many levels of government and culture.
On Saturday evening we went with some friends to the auditorium to see the guitar ensemble. They put on an excellent show and we really enjoyed it. After the show we stopped at our favorite torta stand for some good food. An enjoyable evening.
