Chimbote Events and Chimbote Festivals
(Chimbote, Ancash, Peru, PE)



There really are only a handful of local festivals of note that take place every year in Chimbote. Particularly important are the Easter events in late March or the early part of April, with the Holy Week celebrations being known locally in Chimbote as Semana Santa and featuring everything from religious processions to all kinds of outdoor entertainment.

Other recommended festivals include the ever-popular Festivity of San Pedrito of Chimbote (Civic Anniversary / San Pedrito's Party), which takes place annually in the middle of June and boasts week-long events.

Holidaymakers will also enjoy the festivities staged soon after, during the Chimbote Touristic Week (Ancash), in late June.
