Lima Events and Festivals

(Lima, Peru)



Picture show the Peruvian Changing of the Guard ceremonyAs Peru's capital city, the calendar of festivals in Lima is extensive to say the least, with an endless selection of seasonal things to do. All through the year various appealing events take place across Lima, often being of a religious nature, along with many theatrical performances, ballets and concerts at the recently revamped Municipal Theatre (Teatro Municipal).

The Festival of Lima is held annually on January 18th and celebrates the founding of the city, on this day in 1535. Other events of note include the Feast of Santa Rosa de Lima, which is staged on August 30th and honours St. Rose, the patron saint of both the city and the Americas. Not to be missed either is the El Senor de los Milagros (Lord of the Miracles), where enormous religious parades fill the city with excitement and vibrancy.
