Mexico City is set to celebrate its rich cultural heritage with the inaugural ‘CAMPO DE XOLOS (Welcome to Itzcuintlán)’ festival, dedicated to the unique Xoloitzcuintle dog. This free event will take place from October 27 to November 1, 2026, across various venues in the city’s Historic Center.
A Celebration of Mexican Heritage
The festival aims to promote the recognition, preservation, and cultural patrimony of the Xoloitzcuintle, one of the most emblematic canine breeds in universal culture and Mexican history. This initiative builds upon previous efforts by a coalition of organizations that successfully advocated for the federal promulgation of the National Xoloitzcuintle Day.
Promoting Biocultural Heritage
A key objective of ‘CAMPO DE XOLOS’ is to further establish the Xoloitzcuintle as a biocultural heritage of Mexico City. The event is spearheaded by the Club Canófilo Mexicano del Xoloitzcuintle, A.C., a civil society organization founded in 1996. They are collaborating with the Historic Center Authority and the Head of Government to bring this ambitious project to fruition.
The festival represents a significant step in highlighting the importance of the Xoloitzcuintle, not only as a dog breed but also as a living symbol deeply intertwined with Mexico’s identity and traditions.
