An Encounter with Indigenous Culture and Art in Puerto Vallarta.


From April 11 to 20, 2025, Hidalgo Park in Puerto Vallarta will be the epicenter of a unique celebration: the 13th National Fair of Indigenous Peoples. This grand event will bring together artisans, folk artists, and personalities from various parts of the country, creating a vibrant space where ancestral culture and tradition intertwine with the present.

The fair promises a mosaic of colors, flavors, and sounds that evoke Mexico's deep roots. Artisans from different Indigenous communities will exhibit unique pieces that represent the legacy of their peoples. From hand-embroidered textiles to clay pieces and traditional jewelry, each creation reflects the identity and wisdom passed down from generation to generation.

In addition to the exhibition and sale of handicrafts, the fair will feature artistic presentations that showcase the richness of Mexican folklore. Traditional dances, pre-Hispanic dances, and indigenous music will fill the atmosphere with joy and cultural pride. Each performance will be a tribute to the roots that shape the character of our country.

This event is also a platform for dialogue and recognition of indigenous communities, fostering respect and appreciation for their worldview, languages, and traditions. During the ten days of the fair, attendees can learn more about the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples and support local artisans by purchasing their products directly.

The 13th National Indigenous Fair not only highlights the art and talent of indigenous peoples but also boosts the economic development of communities by generating sales and promotional opportunities. This effort contributes to preserving ancient traditions and strengthening pride in our roots.
