The Feria Yucatan is
in full swing at the Xmatkuil fairgrounds, attracting the normal crowds to the
rides, concerts and events for which it is famous. There is something happening
every day at Xmatkuil, however if you plan to go only once during the event,
then make it Friday November 29, which is the day of a
truly unique event, the Gran Vaqueria,
a traditional colonial hacienda style dance and party which runs from 7pm.
Villages throughout the state are
represented, competing with each other for the most spectacular dress, and best
jarana dancing.
The Gran Vaqueria takes place at the Teatro
del Pueblo, inside the fairgrounds, and to whet your appetite, here are some
photos from last year’s event. Thanks to Feria Yucatan 2012 Facebook page for
the photos.
