Historia
The history of the San José de Gracia Regional Fair is linked to ancient religious celebrations in honor of the Lord of the Ascension. For many years, the community organized patronal festivals featuring masses, pilgrimages, music, and family gatherings.
Over time, these celebrations expanded to include cultural, sporting, and recreational activities, giving rise to a more structured regional fair. Community participation and the importance of local tourism—particularly due to the proximity of the Plutarco Elías Calles Dam—helped establish the fair as a key event for the municipality.
Today, the fair remains a living tradition that preserves the customs, faith, and cultural identity of San José de Gracia.
