TIJUANA.- The first week of October is ending and everything is already out of control. There are so many events going on and it gets really hard to choose the right one; but if you're going through a hard time deciding, then we recommend entijuanarte, which starts this Friday (it's always fun).

Here are 7 events you can enjoy this weekend while you warm up for Halloween time.

Thursday Oct. 6

1.- International UFO encounter

If you are an UFO lover and have always believed that one day they're going to abduct you because you are incredibly smart, then this is the event for you. On Oct.6 and Oct. 7 Tijuana will be the meeting point for experts and everyone who enjoys this subject. Lectures, book presentations, Skywatchers panels, and showings of videos from the skies of Baja California, Mexico and the U.S. will be part of this encounter.

2.- Entijuanarte and a special tribute to Juan Gabriel

This year, Michoacan will be the special guest in this important festival, which means that you will be able to explore a lot of its culture, exhibitions, theatre plays, musicals and more.
