The 8 day long San Jose del Cabo Festival, celebrated in honor of the city’s patron saint San José (St. Joseph), begins on Sunday March 19 at 6:00 p.m. and will continue every evening until Wednesday, March 29. The free admission gala event kicks off with live music, held at the plaza in the heart of downtown.
