Carnaval de Tepoztlán 2026

Tepoztlán's carnival is famous for the 'Brinco de los Chinelos,' a bouncing dance performed by dancers in ornate embroidered robes, plumed hats, and bearded masks representing a satirical parody of Spanish colonizers. The 2026 celebration includes parades, live music, and a food fair filling the town's streets around the base of the Tepozteco hill. It's one of the most photographed carnival traditions in the state of Morelos. (Date shown is estimated from the event's typical annual timing — confirm with the organizer closer to the date.)
