Death has never had it so good. In San Miguel de Allende, the public party is about to begin. The four day Festival La Calaca features several parades, all night celebrations, dances, talks on the dead, plays, public alters in homes and the streets around the Jardin, face painting in Centro, and so much more. The person behind all of this will be our featured speaker this Tuesday. The Midday Rotary Club of San Miguel de Allende welcomes Klaudia Oliver, founder and President of La Calaca. Born in Monterrey, Mexico and raised in Texas, Klaudia lived in various European countries. It was her work with singer David Bowie’s management company where she honed her craft of event production and public relations. In 2007 she settled in San Miguel de Allende. In 2013 she was awarded El Corazon de San Miguel making her an official cultural ambassador of Conde Nast Traveller’s World’s Best City .
