San Felipe, Baja, Mexico

Malecón activity for the Shrimp Festival, 2004.

Shrimpfest 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2007 | 2009 | 2011
Shrimp season has arrived. The town has been busy this past week, primping and preening for the arrival of Shrimp Festival officianados. Curbs have been painted, streets have been scrubbed clean with soap and water, boulevard landscaping has been manicured and the sun has been asked to wipe its feet before coming into town.

The festival is in its 12th year now. There is a piñata full of events lined up. Shrimp taste-off, carnival rides, art exhibits, awards ceremonies, mariachis, dances, beach soccer and live music.

So come and join the festivities. Sample one of San Felipe's best celebrations.
