Emblem of the festival in the streets of Guanajuato
The Festival Internacional Cervantino (FIC), popularly known as El Cervantino, is a festival which takes place each fall in the city of Guanajuato, located in central Mexico. The festival originates from the mid 20th century, when short plays by Miguel de Cervantes called entremeses (singular entremés) were performed in the city's plazas. Guanajuato is a small colonial-era city with a rich cultural history. .
In 1972, the festival was expanded with federal support to include more events to add a more international flavor. Since then, FIC has grown to become the most important international artistic and cultural event in Mexico and Latin America, and one of four major events of its type in the world.[1][2][3][4] It is a member of the European Festivals Association and the Asian Association of Theater Festivals[2] In addition to government support, there are also private sponsors such as Telmex, Televisa and Microsoft.[3]
