Michoacán strengthens its cultural roots with a bold new government plan

Michoacán is set to bolster its cultural sector through a coordinated government plan. The initiative aims to build on the state’s long-standing festivals and creative industries rather than introduce new events. Officials have highlighted the growing demand for audiovisual work and the need for community-focused projects.

The Michoacán Plan, a wide-ranging government strategy, includes input from multiple agencies. On November 19, 2025, the cultural authority released its detailed proposal under this scheme. Culture Secretary Claudia Curiel de Icaza confirmed that while the ministry’s specific actions are still being defined, they must be finalised soon.

The Michoacán Plan seeks to fortify the state’s cultural strengths without creating new festivals. By harnessing existing events and supporting audiovisual work, officials aim to stimulate employment and heritage efforts. The next steps hinge on finalising the Culture Ministry’s detailed actions and establishing a clear timeline.
