Feria del Tejate y del Tamal

The tradition and flavors of Oaxaca come together at the Tejate and Tamal Fair, which will be held on July 29 and 30 at the Plaza de la Danza, a venue where two of the greatest treasures of Oaxacan cuisine will take center stage.

Made with corn, cacao, mamey seeds, and cacao blossoms, tejate is an ancient beverage that has been enjoyed by generations and is an integral part of the region’s identity; meanwhile, the tamal prepared with corn and wrapped in leaves, embodies the richness of a culinary tradition that preserves time-honored recipes and flavors.

Come enjoy this great celebration, learn about the work of those who keep these traditions alive, and let yourself be captivated by the authentic flavors of Oaxaca.​
