Los Cabos is known for its beaches, but the end of the year brings another side: screens under the stars, filmmakers in conversation and a calendar that rewards travelers who like to pair a beach morning with an evening of cinema.
Two festivals anchor the season. Both are best planned early, and both dates below come from event listings, so confirm the final schedule with each festival before booking.
Festival de Cine Todos Santos: Cinema in a Magic Town
Listings place the 2026 Todos Santos Film Festival on Nov. 27–29, with screenings at the Teatro Manuel Márquez de León and extra screenings in Pescadero and La Paz. The festival is intimate by design: Latin American stories, a small-town setting and an audience that lingers in the plaza afterward. Stay near the Pacific in Cerritos and make the short drive for an evening screening.
Festival Internacional de Cine y Creatividad Los Cabos: Beyond the Screen
The 14th edition of the Los Cabos International Film and Creativity Festival is scheduled for Dec. 9–13, 2026, under the theme “Beyond the Screen.” Expect premieres, conversations with filmmakers and a program that stretches into design, music and the creative industries. San José del Cabo and Puerto Los Cabos are natural bases for a festival week.
Build Your Cultural Week
Our concierge can handle transportation between venues, dinner reservations before or after a screening, and a quiet morning at the beach so the week is not all schedule. Tell us which festival you want and we shape the stay around it.
