calenda essentials by our team
Pyrotechnics and colored smoke
An optional upgrade that adds a dramatic flair to your celebration. Dancers carry traditional fireworks baskets that shoot safe, festive sparks, while colored smoke can be integrated into the marmotas.
China oaxaqueña with candy basket
A variation where a China Oaxaqueña carries a basket filled with mexican candies, throwing treats into the crowd to sweeten the experience for your guests.
Curado de mezcal
Curado is an artisanal mezcal naturally infused or cured with local fruits (such as passionfruit or hibiscus), creating a smooth and sweet drink. It is traditionally served on the go in canutos (natural bamboo-like shot glasses worn around the neck).
Guajolotes
In oaxacan traditional weddings, live turkeys are gifted as a symbol of abundance and prosperity. Guests can dance with these handcrafted papier-mâché turkeys above their heads, adding a festive, authentic touch to the calenda.
