Months, not dates. Annual events move and organizers announce their own — we will never guess one for you.
Dates change each year. We list the season rather than a date we cannot yet confirm. When Qué Hay opens, the confirmed dates, times and full programme will be here — and we will never publish a date we are guessing at.
