“The Spirits of Mexico Cultural & Tourism event is a great opportunity for Phoenix to get a taste of the beautiful culture in Chihuahua, Mexico,” Yazmin Quezada, Imex Events founder, shared in a press release. “We hope this event encourages people to visit Chihuahua and promotes international tourism.”
