Our preview of the 12th annual Scotiabank Northern Lights Music Festival now turns to the second week, which will feature the usual range of exceptional music.

Tickets are now on sale for the 12th season of the Scotiabank Northern Lights Music Festival that runs from Monday February 17 to Saturday, March 1.

This weekend is bonanza time for art lovers with the third annual Open Studios Tour offering endless opportunities to get behind the walls for close-up encounters with 59 local artists. Organized by the Ajijic Society of the Arts (ASA), the event runs Saturday, February 8 and Sunday, February 9, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., for self-guided visits to 18 different locations.

Theater-lovers are in for a special treat with My, My, How Nice Productions’ presentation of Ivan Menchell’s 1990 comedy, “The Cemetery Club.”

If you feel like a laugh and some nostalgia on Valentine’s Day, head over to El Piano Rojo to see internationally acclaimed impersonator Michael Holmes in his riotous show, The Judy Show.

¡Viva La Música’s! presentation of The Three Sopranos at the Auditorio de la Ribera on January 23 with their selection of Songs of Latin America, was a great success.
