Yucatán Gov. Rolando Rodrigo Zapata Bello and from the National Council for Culture and the Arts (Conaculta) President Rafael Tovar y de Teresa announced the dates for the 2014 International Maya Culture Festival (FICMaya) at the National Museum of Anthropology and History.

The International Maya Culture Festival is a combined effort by the state of Yucatán and Conaculta to promote Maya culture in Mexico and around the world. The festival was first held in 2012 to coincide with the new era in the Maya calendar.

“We can be proud about having one of the greatest millennial cultures in the world,” said Tovar y de Teresa.

“From the Maya, we have inherited much of our modern-day architecture, astronomy, mathematics and traditional medicine.”

The festival will feature authors, artists and musicians, plus plays, conferences and performances surrounding Maya culture. This year’s theme will be architecture.

The 2014 International Maya Culture Festival will take place in the city from Oct. 17 to Oct. 26.
