Events During The Festive Season

On December 23, Rosewood San Miguel de Allende celebrates one of Mexico’s most beloved traditions with an evening filled with symbolism and holiday spirit: the Callejoneada and Posada in the Lavanda Garden. The night begins with a warm welcome cocktail around the Christmas tree, surrounded by glowing lights, live music, and the aroma of freshly made ponche, as festive décor transforms every corner. As guests gather, the celebration evolves into a lively callejoneada through the hotel’s pathways, led by a local estudiantina and the joyful spirit of all attendees. Guests and associates join together in the traditional posada songs, lighting sparklers that illuminate the night, symbolizing the unity and hope that define the season. The procession ends in the Lavanda Garden, where “pilgrims” are welcomed with a feast of Mexican street food and culinary stations that recreate the authentic flavors of the holidays. With live music and piñatas for children, the evening becomes a heartfelt celebration of the joy of sharing.
