What it is

Fiesta de la Inmaculada Concepción explained

The island's patronal week: a novena in the village church, a decorated fishing-boat procession around the north point, and dancing in the plaza opposite the ferry pier.

Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Isla Mujeres tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
