August 2018 Events in Sonora, Mexico

The month of August has the hottest temperatures of the year for the state of Sonora, Mexico. This is especially true for the state capital of Hermosillo, which typically stays in a range of high triple-digit temperatures every day of the month.

August 9 is the Day of the Indigenous Pueblo and the following day is the birth date of Italian Jesuit priest Padre Eusebio Francisco Kino, who established mission churches and greatly contributed to the social and economic development of the region.

Most of the August events in Sonora are dates on the Catholic liturgical calendar that are celebrated with great reverence. Feast days include San Cayetano, San Lorenzo, San Bartolo and Santa Rosa de Lima, in addition to the day of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on August 15.
