One of the most popular festivities in Mexico is the San Marcos National
Fair which is celebrated in Aguascalientes State from April 25 to May 15. It is
consider the most important fair of Mexico. Is really incredible the things you
can find in this place, there are many activities taking place, among them the cockfighting where are
participants from around the country and you can bet, people going to
cockfighting enjoy a lot, the time of a fight is around five minutes maximum
but it depends on the roosters and you can stay in the Palenque about seven or
more hours, once you see a cockfight you cannot leave it and may be could
become a passion. I wanted to do emphasis in the previous activity about
cockfighting because the fair without roosters fighting is not fair, and is the
same whit the horse races.
Besides cockfighting there are cultural
events like regional dance the most allusive are "bordadoras" and "pelea de gallos;" the music
are "corridos," "sones," "mariachis" and obviously the famous banda. Is very
common to find the people enjoying and dancing for hours in the central area
neighborhood of San Marcos; is a big emotion to see the tipical dressing and
all its colors. This beautiful tradition is opened for all the public.
The fair is completely supplied with
artistic events, mechanical games artificial fires, especially for children
looking for fun. Also you can visit the Taurino museum where do the "charrerí" and the bullfight. The town theater which is presented various artist of the
moment and the garden and temple of San Marcos too. Out of the temple Is
necessary mention the food in this fair, as all the food eat in other states of
Mexico in Aguascalientes, the national fair offers delicious “tostadas, tacos
dorados, tamales, gorditas, barbacoa, carnitas, pambazos, esquites, pozole” so
on.
If you have an opportunity to visit this
state and the national fair of San Marcos, do not let it go. You won´t regret
about this wonder.
