Mazatlan visitors and residents can look forward to an outstanding schedule of events this winter, if the Sinaloa Cultural Festival’s calendar is any indication. This year’s dates are Oct. 24-Nov. 2. The statewide festival, begun in the late 1980s by then Gov. Francisco Labastida and discontinued under his successor, was revived in style by current Gov. Juan S. Millan who has been an ardent supporter of the arts. For the fourth year in a row, and with the blessing and financial backing of the Sinaloa state government, artists of international renown will tour and perform in Mazatlan, Culiacan, Navolato, Guasave and Los Mochis. And when the state festival ends, the Mazatlan Cultural Festival will begin, to continue its run until Christmas. But since the state festival kicks things off, here’s what is coming up during the first of the two festivals. At the Pacific Pearl’s deadline, prices were not yet established but should generally run in the 180-200 peso range for top seats. All the events listed here will take place at 8:30 p.m. in the historic Angela Peralta Theater unless otherwise noted.
