Tulum, Mexico — The Aura Music Fest launched in Tulum with a strong turnout of tourists and local families, positioning itself as a cultural and entertainment hub to help revive the municipality’s economy. The festival, spearheaded by local councilman Jorge Portilla Mánica, drew thousands of attendees, including tourists and visitors, who enjoyed live music and regional comedy performances.
