The Candelaria Fair, also known as the “Flower Fair” is one of the most deeply rooted traditions in San Miguel de Allende, which will take place from February 1st to 14th. This colorful fair consists of the exhibition and sale of seeds and all varieties of plants, especially floral ones.
This year, more than a hundred flower growers and nurserymen, both local and from different states of the country, come to this place, who will give you the best tips to take care of your plants.
This celebration has its origins in pre-Hispanic times, and it is also customary that different groups of shell workers, belonging to the native peoples, arrive on Candlemas Day to hold a vigil.
You can also enjoy jazz shows and concerts, Cuban music, boleros, swing, puppet shows, circus art, flamenco as well as environmental education workshops.
And to feed the soul, there will also be some wellness activities, such as yoga and sound meditation.
