The sometimes overwhelming offer of cultural events in San Miguel means that the Local Guide team is extremely careful before recommending an event, as it must pass through our filters to ensure that readers of this portal are certain that beyond an event, what they are going to enjoy is an experience that will bring significance to their lives. 

A happening that will intervene in a living and green space like Viveros Magueyes and transform it into pure magic…

Such is the case of The Pilgrimage which brings ecology, esotericism and fun by bringing together a series of artists and projects that seek to make a difference from their trenches with multiple proposals such as: 

“What mushroom?” Many will know this very Mexican expression that is used to ask about our current mood and that also refers to the world of mushrooms, which is sometimes misinterpreted, so at the Romería you can get your self-cultivation kit for pink, white and grey mushrooms to be able to grow your own harvest at home. Likewise, if you want to consume them, we recommend you try the exquisite mushrooms in the vegan tacos that will undoubtedly be present. 

After tasting cruelty-free savory foods, it will be time to try an exquisite dessert from Emily Alfaro Bakery + Pastry whose sprinkled gluten- and sugar-free recipes will make you want to become an expert in the world of baking. 

For those wizards who attend or people interested in esoteric power, we have a workshop to learn how to master the infallible wisdom of the pendulum and its accurate prophecies. And as you delve a little into the nature of the Viveros Magueyes headquarters, you will be able to discover an altar of fairies, those mythological beings that inhabit nature and have such a playful reputation. Did you know that they show a predilection for sweet things? So make sure to purchase a vegan dessert for their altar so that these fascinating creatures with tinkling wings can grant your most desired wishes under the guidance of Dante, the expert in the field. 

Going further into the fruit tree area, the visitor will find divine treasures such as garden tools that emulate fine jewelry created by Armadillo whose utensils are difficult to distinguish from Mjolnir, better known as Thor's hammer. 

To delight our sense of listening as we continue on this magical journey, there will be La Terrorista del Sabor, who with her irreverent and fun attitude and colorful outfits will make the rhythm of our insides shake. To make our steps accompany our interior and our movements become slow hypnotic undulations, Sonido Hechicería will take care of the rest and finally we will be finished off with Son Soledad for a good live serenade. 

Such a memorable weekend (March 18-19) can be immortalized and worn like a medal of honor on your skin thanks to Pluma de Jade from San Juan del Río with its proposal of tattoos for everyone. 

And being an inclusive and diverse festival in association with Local Guide, the ambassadors of queerness could not be missing with Feral, the new channel for the scene that supports and disseminates countless voices. 

Mariann Garcés does it again and now together with The Pilgrimage shows us that the diverse and conscious San Miguel is more alive than ever.
