Feria de la Primavera y de la Paz

The Spring and Peace Fair transforms San Cristóbal de Las Casas into an epicenter of joy and tradition. Held at the iconic Parque de Feria Eloy Cavazos, this event brings together local families and national and international visitors in a festive symphony celebrating Chiapas culture at its finest.

The atmosphere bursts with enthusiasm from day one, as throughout the week the stage comes alive with a diverse program. Mornings and afternoons are filled with family moments featuring artisanal exhibitions, amusement rides, popular sports, jaripeo (traditional rodeo), and the traditional Serenade to the Queen of the Fair.

The fair serves as a platform for local and national artists, with safe spaces ensured thanks to a strategic relocation of the stage and the installation of emergency exits leading to streets like Cerrada de Chapultepec, improving flow and emergency response.

Additionally, it functions as a powerful economic engine: jade, amber, and textile craft markets buzz with buyers. Visitors can also savor local cuisine at various food stands offering typical Chiapaneco dishes.

With free admission and easy public transportation—combis and taxis—the fair provides an accessible cultural experience for all ages. It is a tribute to the town’s history, highlighting community pride and the rich cultural heritage of San Cristóbal de Las Casas. If you’re looking for an event that combines tradition, music, family entertainment, and community gathering, this fair is an unmissable experience.
