It is common practice to go on vacation during Holy Week (Semana Santa), which usually ends on Easter Sunday. Celebrations in some towns and cities can be quite upscale, featuring fireworks and various events.

Churchgoers attend special Easter mass, followed by festive parties that include a variety of Mexican dishes as well as fun activities and games. Grandparents, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins meet, greet and mingle to celebrate the day.

Easter Sunday is an important religious holiday in Mexico so many businesses are closed, as well as banks and schools.
