FROM OCTOBER 14TH AND UNTIL NEXT NOVEMBER 4TH, INSTALLED AS EVERY YEAR AND FOR DECADES IN PLAZA DE LA SOLEDAD, IN SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE ANOTHER EDITION OF THE ALFEÑIQUE FAIR IS HELD FROM 9 AM TO 10 PM
San Miguel de Allende, Gto. – Traditions continue to gain strength with the support of the new Municipal Government, as in the 2024 edition of the traditional “Feria del Alfeñique”, where this “Day of the Dead” season is lived with San Miguel essence.
In this new edition from October 14 to November 4, installed as every year and for decades in the Plaza de la Soledad, the general population can acquire the sugar figures made by hand with the ancestral process, with a crunchy or soft texture and sweet and creamy flavors, called “alfeñiques”, which range from skulls, fruits, vegetables, Mexican dishes, catrinas and other characters and miniature farm animals, which fill the establishments with color.
The 2024 edition of the “Feria del Alfeñique” comes to life, from 9 in the morning until 10 at night, by practically 40 local exhibiting families, who have been offering wax crafts, homemade-style bread of the dead, papel picado to decorate the altars of the dead, as well as a wide variety of costumes for more than 50 years.
