Oaxaca in Mexico City
At this cultural gathering, you’ll find handmade pieces by Oaxacan artisans: embroidered textiles, alebrijes, black clay, jewelry, and traditional products that represent the identity of each region of the state. It’s the perfect opportunity to take home an authentic souvenir and directly support the work of artisan communities.
Oaxacan Gastronomy
Food is a must at this exhibition, and you’ll find it all: Oaxacan mole, quesillo, tlayudas, chapulines, mezcal, and artisanal chocolate, among others. Each dish and drink will be prepared by local chefs and producers who come from Oaxaca to share the true flavor of their land.
Schedule and What You Should Know About the Event
The event will take place from August 29 to September 14. Admission is free, so you can tour the space, meet the exhibitors, and try everything you want without paying a ticket.
Something else you should know is that the exhibition has a promotion: For every 100 pesos spent at the booths, you’ll receive a raffle ticket for two Oaxacan baskets, worth 1,500 pesos each. Finally, every Saturday and Sunday, there will be a Guelaguetza presentation. Don’t hesitate to experience the presence of Oaxaca at Galerías Plaza de las Estrellas.
