Twenty years ago, event season in Los Cabos<\/a> was whenever the most fishing tournaments were being held. Big-game sportfishing was the primary reason for the area\u2019s rise in popularity as a tourist destination, and the local events that mattered most were those that promised potential payouts for the activity everyone was coming here for anyway.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, cape cities Cabo San Lucas<\/a> and San Jos\u00e9 del Cabo<\/a> offer so much more\u2014from world-class golf and pampering spas to art and culture and first-class food and beverage\u2014a reality reflected in the number of cultural fairs and festivals held each year. Los Cabos is now home to large-scale film, food, music and comedy festivals, and coastal pueblo m\u00e1gico<\/em> Todos Santos<\/a> hosts film, art and music fests each winter.<\/p>\n

Interested visitors can survey a portion of Los Cabos’ cultural landscape tonight, as San Jos\u00e9 del Cabo hosts its annual Fiesta de la M\u00fasica, a celebration of musical diversity featuring more than\u00a050 performers on stages throughout the city\u2019s downtown area. Local favorites the Brian Flynn Bland will give bluegrass lovers a treat at 11 p.m., with the ace guitarist and singer accompanied by fiddle and mandolin players. The event itself goes from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s be honest: fishing still matters. In fact, it\u2019s featured in some of this summer\u2019s biggest events.<\/p>\n
