Concierto de Equinoccio de Primavera 2026
Spring Equinox Concert 2026

Saturday, March 21st, 2026
from 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm

El Charco del Ingenio Botanical Garden,
Paloma S/N.

For many years the Spring Equinox has meant the welcome to nature’s rhythm. We celebrate years of resistance protecting this beautiful natural monument and want to celebrate musically the great feast of the Earth, as we do every year, in the natural forum in the canyon of El Charco del Ingenio.

On Saturday, March 21, the El Charco del Ingenio-Jardín Botánico canyon will receive an extraordinary female band originating from different communities in Oaxaca: Mujeres del Viento Florido

Recognized for breaking new ground in a genre traditionally performed by men, their music honors tradition, community, and the strength of women.

In the natural forum of the canyon, landscape and sound meet in an unrepeatable experience.

Access from 4:30pm

Much of San Miguel’s splendor can be discovered in its abundance of man made beauty, but at El Charco del Ingenio, nature is the aesthetic draw. At this more than 170-acre botanical garden set in an ecological preserve, you’ll have the chance to spot wildlife, walk along greenery-lined trails and learn about various species of local cacti. Meanwhile, the San Miguel community often gathers in the garden to watch performances, partake in ceremonies and attend environmental education programs. Recent travelers recommend enjoying a hike through the park, picnicking alongside the waterfalls or spending an evening at a concert in the outdoor amphitheater. Located just a mile northeast of central San Miguel, El Charco del Ingenio can be reached on foot (it’s about a 30-minute walk from the municipal market) or by taxi. The reserve is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Led by English-speaking guides, two-hour tours of the conservation area operate on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 a.m.
