Only two Mexican festivals, Dia de los Muertos [Day of the Dead] and Voladores de Papantla [flyers of Papantla] have been recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage events. The Ritual Ceremony of the Voladores of Papantla received this recognition as an Intangible Cultural Heritage [ICH] category from UNESCO in 2009.
Immediately after my semester of study abroad in Queretaro, thru U.T. Austin, ended in Spring/99, I visited El Tajin and witnessed los voladores for the first time. What a sight! I'd love to revisit with my wife in the future if traveling thru Mexico ever becomes safe. La comida huasteca is some of Mexico's best.
