San Marcos Fair

San Marcos Fair is a three-week national fair held every year in the Mexican state of Aguascalientes. The majority of the fair's activities, however, take place in Aguascalientes, the state capital.

The fair was originally linked to the vendimia because wine production was formerly a major industry in Aguascalientes. It is now a popular tourist destination with a strong connection to bullfighting and cockfighting. Every year, an estimated seven million people attend the fair, which means hotels are usually fully booked. However, some locals rent out their homes to tourists and go on vacation during this time.

The San Marcos Fair is organized by an independent foundation that manages the fair's governance, but it is backed by Aguascalientes' state and city governments.
The fair features a wide range of activities, the most popular of which are bullfighting and cockfighting. After a series of cockfights, a concert by a well-known Mexican musician is usually held; this event tends to attract more attention than the bouts themselves.
