Top Events Guatemala

In 2026, Guatemala offers 56 events where ancient traditions meet vibrant celebrations. Think the mesmerising processions of Semana Santa in Antigua, where elaborate sawdust carpets line the streets, or the breathtaking giant kites of Sumpango on the Day of the Dead, a colourful spectacle honouring ancestors. From the highlands to the coast, these events are steeped in local culture.
Attending events here means immersing yourself in deeply rooted customs and often joining a crowd where local families mix with curious travellers. From the spiritual ceremonies around Lake Atitlán to the lively markets of Chichicastenango, each gathering tells a story of Guatemala's rich heritage. Staying in hostels keeps things budget-friendly and close to the action, and meeting other travellers is half the fun. Explore Guatemala stays and plan your adventure.
