Sunday March 25 - Monday April 2, 2018 Mazatlan is in the very top group of Semana Santa / Easter Week beach destinations in Mexico -- the others being Acapulco, Cancun, Huatulco, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta and Veracruz -- and many would argue that it is uniquely sophisticated because it is the only city on the list that is both a colonial gem and a beach town. In 2018, Semana Santa / Easter Week in Mazatlan runs from Sunday March 25th (Domingo de Ramos) until Monday April 2nd (Lunes de Pascua). Almost all cities and towns in Mexico have public observances of Easter during the two-week period that starts on Palm Sunday and extends at least until Easter Sunday and, in some locales, into the following week. Mazatlan is no different, offering a full range of Catholic and Protestant Christian celebration for the observant. Celebration of Easter Week / Semana Santa in Mazatlan is dominated by the Catholic faith, and as with most Catholic traditions in Mexico, the religious celebrations related to Holy Week and Easter are based on the Roman Catholic calendar inherited from the Spanish, with Holy Week preceded by Lent and Ash Wednesday, which are themselves preceded by Carnival.

8 Held annually since 1995, Semana Internacional de la Moto Mazatlan takes place the week after Easter, in 2018 from from Wednesday April 4 until Sunday April 8. The rally draws over 20,000 bikers from around the world, and is an important highlight of early Spring cultural events in Mazatlan. International Motorcycle Week Mazatlan is open to all, motorcyclist or non-motorcyclist. Representatives of the Mazatlan Motorcycle Club and local bikers with extensive local knowledge are eager to provide help and information to visiting bikers and the general public alike.
