Hey beloveds, It's Terry. Many of you know that although I'm originally from Savannah, Georgia I currently live in the magnificent city of Merida. Today, I'm excited to share my experience of Merida's vibrant Otono Cultural, a celebration of arts and culture that has a special place in my heart.
Merida is a city rich in history, tradition, and culture. The Otono Cultural Festival, held annually, is a time when Merida truly shines. As a manifestation and happiness coach, I couldn't have found a more inspiring place to be. This festival is a spectacular blend of music, dance, art, and food, and it's the perfect setting to harness positive energy and creativity. The festival takes place from October 12th through 29th at venues all over the city.
Before I dive into the festival's highlights, let me share a useful tip with you. When exploring Merida, I highly recommend using InDriver for your transportation needs. This ride-sharing app has gained popularity in the city due to its fair pricing and reliable service. It's an excellent way to get from one cultural event to another, hassle-free.
Now, back to the Otono Cultural Festival!
