The Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes de Guatemala published a series of posts on November 16, 2025, highlighting key cultural events and commemorations in the country. The tweets covered the International Day for World Heritage, a classical music festival, and a regional theater showcase.

In its first post at 20:00 UTC, the Ministry stated: " Cada 16 de noviembre celebramos el Día Internacional del Patrimonio Mundial, una fecha para honrar los bienes naturales y culturales que resguardan nuestra historia y preservan la memoria de las naciones.

This message was shared to mark the International Day for World Heritage, an annual observance intended to raise awareness about the importance of preserving natural and cultural assets worldwide.

At 21:00 UTC, attention shifted to theatrical arts with another update from Escuintla: "#Escuintla | La segunda noche de la Muestra de Teatro Departamental “Norma Padilla” iluminó la Ciudad de las Palmeras con el talento de los elencos de Quiché, El Progreso y Guatemala. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/nsQznxY0XI". This tweet referenced the second night of the Norma Padilla Departmental Theater Showcase in Escuintla—known as "Ciudad de las Palmeras"—featuring performances by groups from Quiché, El Progreso, and Guatemala departments.
