The part of the warning that is relevant to Nogales:
Sonora: Nogales, Puerto Peñasco,
Hermosillo, and San Carlos are major cities/travel destinations in
Sonora - Sonora
is a key region in the international drug and human trafficking
trades and can be extremely dangerous for travelers. Travelers
throughout Sonora are encouraged to limit travel to main roads
during daylight hours. Defer non-essential travel to the region west
of Nogales, east of Sonoyta, and from Caborca north (including the
towns of Saric, Tubutama, and Altar), and the eastern edge of Sonora
bordering Chihuahua, as these are known centers of illegal activity.
Travelers should also defer non-essential travel to the eastern edge
of the state of Sonora, which borders the state of Chihuahua (all
points along that border east of the northern city of Agua Prieta
and the southern town of Alamos), and defer non-essential travel
within the city of Ciudad Obregon and south of the city of Navojoa.
You should exercise caution while transiting Vicam in southern
Sonora due to roadblocks that can be instituted ad hoc by local
indigenous and environmental groups. U.S. citizens visiting Puerto
Peñasco should use the Lukeville, Arizona/Sonoyta, Sonora border
crossing, and limit driving to daylight hours. Please see above for
general conditions for travel in Mexico.

appointment will be from Thursday 4 to Saturday 6 with opening
ceremony at the Museum of Art Nogales.
He recalled that in February 2012, year of the
first edition, a social and cultural space for young Nogalenses due
to the climate of violence affecting the whole city was sought.
"We looked for a moment of relaxation for
young people to go and be free from all, this year we are pulling
the house out the window, he could not count on government support,
although the plan this will become something like Fiestas del Pitic,
Kino or Ortiz Tirado to Nogales, "he said.
He added that all municipalities have their
important sonorenses festival supported by their local governments
and is what is intended, today the difficult task is done so that
you can transcend, organizing a festival with an international cast.
Gutiérrez Brambilia clarified that the content is
culturally, with exhibition of paintings by an artist Karla Osete of
Nogales, Arizona and a presentation of a documentary "The Naptime"
the hermosillense filmmaker Caro Platt with the theme of Motion 5 of
June.
There will also be musical performances with
local artists, recognized statewide, including some internationally
as is the band "Two Minutes" of Argentina.
"We have about eight years organizing events,
from the first work call is, we want to involve much of the youth of
Nogales, is hard work, but if we do not do, I think nobody does" he
added.
He said the visit of about 200 people from
Nogales, Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona is expected, as well as Cananea,
Agua Prieta, Caborca and Magdalena, who already requested
information on schedules and costs.
The cost of tickets will be 220 pesos in presale
and 280 at the box office, will have as venues the Qahwa House, the
Roots Bar, the Art Museum and the Esplanade of Texas.
"The expectation
is very good, is a surprise to people, in particular, see that he
had never done a festival like this, so with this poster of bands
and artists that we bring, never and is the first time you do,
pretending which is even better another year, "he said.
