Feria de la Nieve: a culinary event during Holy Week

The Feria de la Nieve takes place in the municipal seat of Tejupilco from Thursday to Sunday during Holy Week. Stalls selling handmade ice cream line the area around the Jardín Principal. The Feria is a cultural and gastronomic expression of Tejupilco, combining a specific culinary focus with a set time of year. If this event is the main reason for your trip, plan your visit for the Thursday-to-Sunday period during Holy Week. The stalls and ice cream give the Feria its distinctive character, while the town’s cultural activities offer a different focus for a stay.
