Puerto Escondido is composed of two municipalities, one that includes Playa Principal and the downtown area and another in the Playa Zicatela area. Both municipalities participate in the Fiestas de Noviembre but the events are not coordinated. So there are often competing events taking place simultaneously in both areas. Zicatela events are often staged on Playa Zicatela just past Restaurante Sabor a Mar while the uptown events are often on Playa Principal or the municipal plaza east of the playa.

Ear plugs are a good thing to bring to festival events. Sometimes things get loud, very loud. Below is a partial listing of events. There are many, many events held during Fiestas de Noviembre.
