In an effort to promote tourism, officials in Nogales,
Sonora are set to revive “Winter Fest,” a street fair
aimed at welcoming the so-called snowbirds who spend
their winters in the region.
They’re also planning a new, bilingual “tourist police”
force to help foreign visitors get oriented and feel
safe.
“The mayor of Nogales, Ramon Guzman, is really
emphasizing and trying to motivate this tourist
traffic back and forth and trying to strengthen that
relationship that existed before,” said Manuel
Hopkins Ruiz, the city’s new economic development
director, during a visit to the NI on Monday.
The three-day Winter Fest, set for Nov. 16-18,
promises live music, handicrafts, food, drink and a
variety of expositions, including art, theater and
photography. Activities will run from 10 a.m. to 8
p.m. every day, and will be centered in downtown
areas such as the Plaza Pesqueira, Calle Campillo
and Pasaje Morelos.
Another focal point of the festivities will be the
city’s new museum of art.
Organizers say they’ll add several new features to
this year’s version of the event, including a
classic car show on the first day of the festival.
In addition, a group of bikers will hold a rally
that weekend to promote safety and their city,
Hopkins said.
During a news conference last weekend to announce
the event, the city’s new mayor, Ramon Guzman, said
he is planning a series of initiatives to promote
tourism in Nogales, Sonora, including the creation
of a “tourist police” force.
“One of the really important things that we want to
coordinate and work on is public safety, because I
know that it’s a huge concern,” Hopkins said.
