Every February San Miguel becomes a super hive of
activity, and this year seems to have even more events than usual. I am tempted
to call it San Miguel’s Carnival of Creativity. All the accelerated activity
among the artists in our community is driven by the Tourist Invasion that
happens every February, spearheaded by the annual Writers Conference. With all
the openings, exhibits, studio walks, in addition to the theater and music
performances, writing workshops, talks, tours and lectures that are crammed
into five days, we are currently on arts events overload. It makes me wonder –
just how many arts events is the average tourist willing and able to take in
during a single week?
With all the artists vying for attention in San
Miguel, the city has turned into a rat race. But in February it becomes a Super
Marathon Rat Race, or, if you like, a Rat Race on Steroids.
