The wait is coming to an end for those who appreciate Mexican art and culture, as the opening of the first Xcaret Popular Art Fair is approaching. From September 19 to 22, 2024, the historic Hacienda Henequenera in Xcaret Park will become a lively meeting point for nearly 140 Mexican master artisans, showcasing the diversity and richness of the country's craft traditions.
This four-day event will not only be a celebration of Mexican folk art, but also an opportunity to boost the economy of diverse communities throughout Mexico. The Xcaret Popular Art Fair is created with the purpose of promoting culture and sustainable development, in line with Xcaret's mission of sharing the love of Mexico with the entire world.
Since its inception, Xcaret has been a defender of Mexican culture, committed to creating shared prosperity and respect for human rights. The Xcaret Popular Art Fair reflects these values by offering a dignified space for artisans to share their cultural creations.
The fair will offer a wide range of activities, including craft displays and sales, Mexican food tastings, technique demonstrations, talks, live music and parades. A competition will be held to recognize and reward craftsmanship excellence, with generous cash prizes for winners in several categories.
It is important to highlight that artisans' participation in the fair will be free and they will receive 100% of the sales of their works.
In addition, training will be provided in legal, financial and social media aspects to strengthen your skills and sales opportunities. The Xcaret Popular Art Fair offers a unique opportunity for meetings between creators, collectors, businessmen and lovers of Mexican art, both nationally and internationally.
With the vision of promoting popular art as the Material and Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mexico and humanity, this fair aspires to be a reference in the promotion and preservation of the country's cultural wealth. Access to the fair is included in the entrance to Xcaret Park, but exclusive tickets for the event can also be purchased at the park box office.
