The Snowbird’s Guide to Saint’s Days and Seasonal Shindigs: December Events in Los Cabos
The formula is simple: As the weather gets cooler in Los Cabos, the events season heats up. Cooler is a relative term, of course, since even in the depths of winter local beaches are filled with bikini- and board shorts-clad escapees from less forgiving climes in the United States and Canada.

This Thursday, U.S. residents and visitors will gorge themselves on traditional Thanksgiving staples at some of the area’s finest restaurants.

The relatively short interval between the devastating storm and the area’s first large-scale event – only 34 days – is a testament to the remarkable clean-up and recovery efforts by local residents, with strong support from Mexican military and federal police.

It’s been nearly a month since Hurricane Odile made its devastating landfall in Los Cabos, and incredibly, the area is already back in business…just in time for high-tourism season.
