Baja’s much-anticipated annual Vendimia (wine harvest) Festival is in full swing this month. Some events are already sold out, but there are still many opportunities to join in the fun.
And even if you can’t attend any of the Vendimia activities, Baja has much more to offer during August. Ensenada will host a Taco and Beer Festival just days before the Baja Blues Fest in Rosarito. Meanwhile, San Felipe is getting ready for its third annual homage to one of Mexico’s most celebrated delicacies — ceviche.
There are hundreds of events to be found on Baja.com. The following represent some of our favorite selections for this month.
