Come a little later in the springtime to experience warmer weather, fewer Spring Break college kids, and fun events you can partake in with your friends or family. One of the main reasons why people flock here from around the world during May is that the surf season kicks off, so you can grab your board, put on your wetsuit, and head out into the crashing waves.
One of the most well-known holidays and celebrations around the world is Cinco de Mayo. It is a time to celebrate Mexican heritage, including dances, food, drinks, cultural events, and the people who make this incredible country all that it is. It can be hard to narrow down where to go when you visit Cabo during the Cinco de Mayo celebrations, but we have a few standouts.
Head to Los Cabos Mexican Grill and Cantina to attend the annual block party. This Cabo event takes over the entire street, attracts locals from the entire coastal town, and entices tourists to fly to Mexico for this exciting celebration. There are tons of outdoor seating and dining areas where you can enjoy authentic Mexican food, icy margaritas, and breathtaking views of the water.
Plus, you can bring your kids here early in the day to play on the playground, enjoy the kid-friendly activities, paint their faces, and celebrate with the other children. Then, if you can score a babysitter for the evening, stay at the Grill and Cantina for the party to really kick off.
Come to Cabo during the summer months to experience long and sunny days, pristine surfing weather, and great vibes that last all month long. Come in the beginning of June to attend the Los Cabos Open of Surf at Zippers Beach Break to watch professional and amateur surfers try their best to win this infamous competition. You can listen to the live music at the nearby festival in the meantime.
Next, come to Cabo during the week of June 22 to 28th to attend the Stars and Stripes Fishing and Golf tournament. Either attend the tournament or enter yourself to see how well you do! Many locals and tourists love trying their hand at fishing in the open water, golfing on some of the lush green courses, and just enjoying the live music, entertainment, nightlife, and strong drinks.
This tournament is a charity fundraiser that combines deep sea fishing, golfing on the best courses in the country, and incredible musical entertainment. It attracts people from all over the world. Last year, this event in Los Cabos donated over $20 million to charities, so you can feel good about participating.
You can register your team as a team of 4 or a team of 2 for around $12k. Although this is expensive, you can indulge in spa treatments, recreational fishing, golf tournaments, mezcal, and tacos at the nearby La Lupita, as well as a beach day party at Dicko’s.
Lastly, the final Cabo event in June that is a must-attend is the Fiesta de la Musica. Head here on June 23 after a day of fishing and golfing to listen to live music, sit under the bright Mexican sky as the sun sets over the water, and celebrate the summer solstice with your friends and family.
If you plan to vacation to Cabo later in the summer months, make sure you attend the East Cape Dorado Shoot Out in July. This famous fishing tournament is an annual BIG deal that is the largest fishing tournament in Southern Baja, featuring over 120 teams every year. Not sure if you should sign up? You can win over $500,000 in cash and prizes, so you might as well take the risk!
Bring out your inner Serena Williams or Roger Federer and sign up for the August Los Cabos Open Tennis Tournament. Okay, maybe you won’t be able to join. Still, you can watch the top internationally ranked players face off against one another right in front of your very eyes.
This pro tournament is held at the Cabo Sports Complex as part of the ATP Tour 250 on hard courts, making it one of the most important Associate of Tennis Professionals events held every year. The prize money for this incredible tournament is a whopping $873,000, so come watch to see who will win and take home the grand prize.
Escape the heat of the summer and the school crowds and come to Cabo in September to experience beautiful weather, fewer people, and pristine scuba diving conditions. For deep sea divers and scuba divers, September is the ideal month to dive deep below the surface of the bright blue water and see the breathtaking marine life and aquatic structures.
We recommend attending Independence Eve and Mexican Independence Day on September 15th and 16th if you come here for a weekend. The ‘Fiestas Patrias’ are extremely important in Mexican culture, celebrated by captivating firework displays, parades down the main streets of Cabo, and live dancing and music that will have you up on your feet all night long!
Throughout the month of September, to celebrate independence, many restaurants host nights featuring Mexican games, music, drinks, and food for those who want to experience an authentic Independence Day. Plus, some beaches offer adult-only parties that are great for adults on vacation who want to let loose and party.
For those who are less concerned about having warm and sunny weather for the duration of their stay, October is a fun month to come to experience fewer people, cool breezes, and the Los Cabos Bisbee’s Interracial Black and Blue Tournament. No, this isn’t boxing or something that is going to give you a ‘black and blue’ eye — it is a fun fishing tournament!
The Bibee’s tournament is arguably the biggest fishing event of the year, bringing in people and spectators worldwide. Head to Cabo for at least a long weekend on October 25 to 29th to experience this upbeat festival, featuring huge cash prizes, talented fishermen, and great merchandise to purchase and bring back home.
Bring out your surfboard, put on your wetsuit, and make sure to put on sunblock—virgin season is back in full swing on the Pacific side of Cabo! Whether you're a beginner or an avid surfer, you will have a great time sitting in the swell, waiting for waves, and making friends with other athletes.
If you want to try other sports, wind sports really come alive during the fall and winter months. Try your luck at windsurfing or parasailing since the strong ocean breezes are ideal for going fast and lifting up into the air.
Or, for another type of adrenaline-filled adventure, you can book an immersive shark experience. Fall and winter are the best times to view sharks and whales in the water, which can have your heart pound and make for a few great photo opportunities to post on your Instagram!
Lastly, if you are only coming to Cabo for a long weekend or a short one-week vacation, make sure you plan your November holiday to coincide with the famous Dia de Los Muertos—the Day of the Dead. We love this holiday due to its importance in Mexican culture, featuring brightly decorated sculptures, great artistic pieces, and nightly rituals that memorialize the deceased.
Last but not least, December is still a great month to come to Cabo. You can see the life-changing whale migrations from the shore or a charter boat that brings you out on the crystal blue water.
Do you want a more civilized and upscale vacation in Cabo instead of just drinking and drinking for spring break? We think that attending the Sabor, a Cabo food and wine festival, to taste some of the best Cabernets and cheeses from the Baja California region, is a fun event to attend with your mature friends. You can take a cooking class, watch demonstrations, and dance to live music.
If you are here to attend an annual event in Cabo San Lucas that will have you wanting to come back every single year, the New Year’s Eve Fireworks over Medano Beach are incredible and some of the best in the entire country. Make sure you get a good spot ahead of time so you can see the brightly colored explosions over the dark water. Talk about a fun way to ring in the new year!
