The closest ones are the Teziutlan Fair, which is expected to bring an economic impact of $ 10 million pesos left by the nearly 300, 000 visitors expected to reach the municipality for the event that will be held from August 2nd to the 18th in honor of the Virgin of the Assumption, a venerated image in this city.
In the last day of activities of this fair it will be held the First Contest of Chilposon Teziuteco, typical regional dish made with pork, chicken, beef, and in some cases, with seafood. There will be a prize for first three places in metallic, as to make it more interesting.
So, who comes visit this time will know of the traditions and cuisine of the region where one of the most important traditional dishes is Chilposon and the tlayoyos that are made with avocado leaf alberjon and Creole, accompanying themselves with chipotle sauce, cheese and onion.
Second, but no less important, there´s the Santa Maria Coapan Fair, with an expected economic impact of at least 700,000 pesos left by the nearly 21, 000 visitors who will come to this fair, to be held from July 233d to the 28th, in the town of Santa Clara Hitzilotepec.
