The recent start of the 2025 Folklore Festival in Jesús María has been a whirlwind of color, music and tradition, reaffirming the municipality as a bastion of popular culture. The event, led by Mayor César Medina and the head of the Culture Agency, Antonio Amaral, not only celebrates the cultural roots of the region, but also promises to be a catalyst for future artistic expressions.

The presentation of the Ollin Yoliztli folk ballet group, whose name means “life and movement”, was a spectacle apart. This traditional dance group, originally from Aguascalientes, delighted attendees with choreographies that reflected the rich cultural diversity of Mexico. Their performance was a reminder that folklore is a living entity, constantly evolving and adapting, but always rooted in our traditions.

The festival, which runs through February 26, offers a plethora of cultural activities and artistic presentations. This event not only serves as a space for the meeting and celebration of Mexican folk identity, but also fosters a sense of community and belonging.

It is crucial to highlight the vision of Mayor Medina and his team. By prioritizing cultural events such as this festival, they are investing in the social fabric of Jesús María. They are creating a space where families can come together, where young people can learn about their cultural heritage, and where artists can share their talent with an appreciative audience.

The 2025 Folklore Festival is a testament to the power of art and culture to unite people. It is an event that not only entertains, but also educates and inspires. Jesús María has once again shown that it is a municipality that values and celebrates its cultural heritage, and this festival is proof of that.
